Hi there, Thanks for reaching out.
I would request if you can share a few more details like: Are you able to open the files when saved locally? If you are unable to open the file when they are on the dropbox, please try turning off the synch and see if you are able to open the files after that.
Please help. Hey there Jeremy H. Walter Community Moderator Dropbox dropbox. I have the same problem. I am running MacOS Catalina, and dropbox I use selective sync. The problem comes when I try to open a file that is not synced to my desktop, but only to the cloud. Whenever I try to do this, the application that is trying to open it will freeze and become non-responsive.
Another problem which I'm not sure is related or not, is that my files do not seem to sync. The icon in the tray will read "syncing 45 files, 2 hours remaining" but nothing changes and it will display the same message until I kill it, and re-open. Then, and only then, will some of the files that have been syncing appear on my desktop. This has only recently become a problem, but it is seriously impeding my ability to use my files.
Hey Qamarsky , thanks for joining our discussion here and sorry to here you're having issues with our desktop app. It looks like you're running a beta version of the app and as those are still in the testing process, you could notice some issues or an inconsistent experience. Could you check if using the latest, stable version helps improve matters? To do so, first, toggle off the 'early releases' from your account's settings online.
