Broken links in InDesign files on macOS Monterey 12.3.1
Hi there,
I've been happily working with Indesign files in Dropbox for a year now where my files are all stored Online Only. It used to be the case that Dropbox would automatically relink all the s...
Hello all together
I have the same problem in InDesign with files that are only online and despair almost every day when I have to edit InDesign jobs where I have to locate the files in the Finder first and download them every time.
Now I have discovered a workaround:
- Open a job in InDesign
- Select all entries in "Links"
- Right-click on the menu item "Edit With" > "Preview 11.0".
- After all files have been opened in Preview, quit Preview.
- Switch back to InDesign.
- Continue working.
I hope this helps some of you.

If you try tobiasknecht’s suggestion, and you still have trouble with this, I’d suggest reaching out to your Sales representative directly, so that they can check your Dropbox account, and help you update your Dropbox app.
Hello,
I implemented Tobias Knecht's approach and adjusted the settings in the admin console. However, I did not uninstall Dropbox at first.
1. Dropbox got stuck while moving the data.
2. I uninstalled it manually and then reinstalled it.
3. My Dropbox client then suggested on its own to install the beta version, which I did. The moving and indexing process took about 12 hours, likely due to the amount of data.
4. It's now working, sort of. I don't have any issues with smaller documents. But as soon as there are multiple images in a document, the spinning beachball becomes my new best friend. It takes forever, and images with layers are sometimes displayed incorrectly.
Dropbox crashes at least once a day without any warning.
same issue here - absolute nightmare trying to relink files even after they've been made available offline. Dropbox is also causing issues with Lightroom Classic that I have been trying unsuccessfully to resolve for over a month now. seriously rethinking whether i want to carry on using Dropbox, as i'm wasting far too much time troubleshooting what feels like a constant stream of problems.
