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
So I am having this exact issue with After Effects. I have made all of my synced files local to my computer and I am running DB v172.4.7555. Not sure why I am having this issue if it was fixed in a previous version according to this thread. Any patch from Dropbox would be appreciated.

Dropbox StaffHey joeburke1, sorry to see you're having this issue.
Have you already updated your Dropbox application to the new Dropbox for macOS version?
To confirm this, check if your Dropbox folder is currently located in your User folder or in ~/Library/CloudStorage.
Let me know what you find.
This is a great article to help - https://help.dropbox.com/installs/macos-for-teams
But what if not all of your team are running macOS 12.5 or later?
