Monterey and problems with offline files, and Indesign files.
Hello Dropbox Community,
Tried to post in French, but maybe English friends can help as well 😊
I'm having some trouble using Dropbox since I installed Monterey on my macbook pro, which I didn't have before. I will try to be as clear as possible.
- Impossible to have a preview (preview finder) of files only hosted online, without having to make them accessible offline...
- When I work on software such as Adobe Suite, Indesign CC, Illustrator or other, it becomes very complicated. For example: if I reopen an Indesign file that is not accessible offline, all my links are disabled. So far, nothing serious, all graphic design afficionados experience this kind of problem... and we have automated solutions for that. BUT now, when I want to "re-link" my links to the source files, if ever these source files are online and not local/offline, I have to make them accessible offline one by one according to the destination folders, otherwise the import in Indesign fails. Not cool 😔
Of course you can find workarounds, use an Indesign file package, make sure you have all the links in the same folder, etc. But I didn't have this problem before, and I find it really laborious.
Any suggestion? Any improvement on Dropbox side? Did I miss something in this update / Monterey / Dropbox?
Thanks in advance for your help and advice,
Have a nice day!
