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...
3Ds Max can not see and re-link to its scene local files, that were before - even for a minute - online-only via dropbox. Other software works fine with it (for example After Effects). Its a massive problem. I have around 1.5TB libraries of proxies and textures and old 3D files made on other PC in 3Ds Max. And this files are usless on other PC with downloading all 1.5TB libraries LOCAL by drobox. Its an catastrify, I payed for dropbox just for this purpose and it doesnt work...
Somehow in re-downloaded files (automatic by dropbox) there is some note that 3Ds Max can not recognize as local file. What can we do? research and update needed!

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi lukaszwolenski, let me jump in here!
Are you using a Mac or a Windows device? Also, what is the exact error you get when you try to re-download files locally? If you could send me a screenshot, that'd be very helpful.
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
Hi,
An update on this problem from our site.
The cause of the problem was indeed the online-only folders. With generally switching Dropbox to store locally it still kept some folders that were already sync to online-only. When manually switching these folders to local all was good.

here how the problem looks like:

4 screenshots explaining the issue.
Im using windows 10 pro 64. The Dropbox folder is on my SSD drive, C:\Dropbox, to avoid user name in the link to files.
