Can't open files in 3ds MAX that are on Dropbox
**Just thought I'd edit this top post** I think this has been resolved quietly by either Dropbox or Autodesk, as I no longer have any problems with syncing or anything. Hello all, Similar to t...
As an aside there is there is a thread on this on the autodesk forums. it's definetly a dropbox thing. because if you copy paste the file (even in fropbox) it fixes the issue.

Hi TOMSAL,
The best thing you can do is turn your "Smart Sync" (especially in quotes) off and make your files local (not "online only" with cloud emblem). If you don't want to turn off entire (Non)"Smart sync" for some reason, do this (set to local) on all files you are working on currently, at least.
Hope this helps.
I've never used smartsync and all my files are already local. Just doublechecked..
It's kinda weird, copying the file does solve the problem for now. But that's impractical in the long run.

How do you "doublechecked" it? What is the emblem on some troublesome file? is it a tick on green background or white cloud?

Of course, it will always do in such a way. 😉 Locally manipulated files are... local (for some time, at least). Make the things sure; don't left with guessing. I believe on the files, that you made some copying on, emblem got changed from cloud to tick. Isn't it?
