Adobe not downloading online only files from projects
Hi All,
after updating to MacOS 12.3 I have not been able to open project files (Premiere/After Effects) without errors of not finding files that are in dropbox as 'online only'. Prior to the Mac ...
Hi there,
In order for this fix to be applied, you need to opt into Dropbox for macOS on File Provider. The latest version of Dropbox for macOS utilizes Apple’s updated File Provider API and fixes issues related to opening online-only files in third-party applications for users on macOS 12.5 or higher. You can read more about opting into Dropbox for macOS File Provider here. Please note that not all users are eligible at this time.
This is being rolled out to Dropbox Teams at the moment, but the team admin must choose to opt-in for the entire team when they are told it has been made available. If you are experiencing this issue, and are a member of a Dropbox team, then we recommend to align with your team admin and ensure that they opt-in as soon as they can, so that this issue is fixed for you. You can find out more here.Regards,
Emmet
Yea, I was more wondering if they have a timeline for a solution. Or if i should just backup everything on my computer and downgrade the OS back to Big Sur to get the auto download 'feature' when using 3rd party programs with the cloud only files
It's actually gotten worse.
Now just double clicking MS Word docs in finder give me an error and wont open (giving an error 'cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.').
I have to right click and then select 'make available offline'
Plus for some reason dropbox is now the default program to open anything, even when changing that permission to the correct program, it still insists on using dropbox to open the files
