Logic Pro download corrupted files

Hi there, Using dropbox to sync my Logic Pro projects in real-time. Uploaded multiple to 'online-only' and then used smart sync to shift them to 'local' as I needed to work on some old files but I'm getting the same error message every time which implies that part of the file integrity is wrong and the projects simply won't open but Dropbox is saying that the file is fully local and all of the files are downloaded. I'm on Mac OS Mojave. 

I've read the section about Apple's packaged files and the article never said that they were incompatible, with no major issues reported... however, this is a major issue! Any help will be appreciated

Side note: this is only happening to the project that I've been redownloading by switching smart sync to local on the package file for that particular project. I understand that zipping the files is a way around this in the future but I need to access the files currently and that would also use a lot more space in the long run!! 

 

Thanks,

    HI Nick. Did you get this resolved at all? Have you concluded Dropbox can no longer hold Logic Pro files? I have the same problem but I find OneDrive also fails to hold Logic files withouth corrupting them. Can we only use hard drives to back up now?

    I use Logice, and also utilize Dropbox to save me sessions as well , and have come across this issue also. But I think I found a way to recover them. I even went a step further to create a step-by-step video about to show what I did to recover my sessions. I linked it here.

    I hope this is helpful
