Logic Pro files disappearing
I got a new macbook (M2) and migrated from my old macbook (2019 intel). Initially I set all of my dropbox folders to online only so I could then manually select what I wanted to keep local. ...

I've basically got the exact same problem with my .logicx file but I tried a workaround:
I've downloaded a .tar of the folder that contains the .logicx file (which DOES actually show the .logicx file in finder once uncompressed). Unfortunately, something that Dropbox has done is responsible for corrupting the .logicx file since my computer doesn't seem to think the .logicx file is openable in Logic.
This thread by user "stevenmusic" outlines the issue that I've found in my attempted workaround: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Create-upload-and-share/Issue-with-Logic-Pro-files-logicx/td-p/723249
Other .logicx files in Dropbox are completely fine btw so I'm not sure why some would exhibit this behavior and not others. We need a solve for this ASAP as many of us rely on Dropbox to secure work for ourselves and for clients (whom we may lose...)

Hello.
Another one with the same issue. I've had this way of working for years and started to have problems once a computer with macOS 13 got into the equation.
The sync status show this message to me, but as you can see it is not a problem with filenames or characters. The weird thing is that some projects still sync, while some others not.

Hi everyone, the issue you're experiencing could be related to the recent File Provider update to the Dropbox desktop application.
Unfortunately, syncing Logic Pro library files on cloud-storage services (including Dropbox) is no longer supported on macOS 12.5 or later. We apologize for the inconvenience.

It's the only reason why I use dropbox, and I have paid for a whole year in advance.
