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 update all files would auto download to be on my machine locally. I know there's an issue with full support for OS 12.3... any updates or solutions folks have found?

 

thanks

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?

Yeah, not a word from Dropbox, I just forked over another $2000 for our business's service and here we are, still suffering with this issue and losing tons of time so many months later. This should be one of their top priorities, I don't understand what's going on here.

This is how is working for us. We changed the name of the main project folder, just added a "_1" to the end. If you change it and you reopen the AE file, everything works. So weird, but it works, is not the best solution. But much better than downloading all the folder to your local server.

I just updated today to try and fix the problem, and have v14 Sonoma now, and dropbox still wont auto download online-only files within adobe programs. Really really disappointing.

Need more support?
