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. ...
You... my friend are a genius!!! You may have saved my career with this temporary fix!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I don't know why dropbox can't use this info to figure out how to get this fixed. Dropbox is holding all my files created with the new Mac version hostage since I migrated everything to a new computer that won't yet let me install the Mac version. I had to do your fix with a PILE of logic files to get them off dropbox. I've lost all confidence in dropbox today through this. I can't thank you enough for your trick!!!
Elss, what exactly was the fix you used? Nothing that I've tried here worked yet 😞
Hi! This is copied from a user who posted above that I was thanking... I think it's Explorer. But anyway this was his fix -- temporary but it gets your files that were held hostage off of dropbox.
oh, I already tried this one, but most of my session files that gone lost / are corrupted have more than 4gb (Software / pre recorded instruments for live concerts, and some concerts recorded live multitrack) and seems like dropbox only allows to download fat32 file size limit online, because the tar.gz file usually tops on 3.somethin gb in size.
And when I unpack them logic says it`s corrupted and won't open.
It's really crazy cuz it worked on many of my files but some stayed as folders and therefore it would not work. I think the key is first try on an actual file that you know might be a simpler file and see if it works. It will not work if you can only get to the folder. I hope you're able to salvage things... this has been beyond stressful and I only took a handful of files out that I know I need to bounce stems to and continue working on. If they don't fix this soon, I'l be finding another service to hold my files.
