Viewing "Online only" file in Adobe Bridge
When I view "Online only" files in Adobe Bridge, thay automatically become "Local" files, even if I don't open them.
That's very annoying.
Is there a way to prevent that?
Thanks đ

Yep, totally agree.
If osx can see/grab the thumbnails then we must find a way for Dropbox to see the thumbnails too.
I may have to leave Dropbox after years of use if the thumbnails can't be viewed in Bridge.
This needs to be revisited across the board, in Finder, Bridge, whatever. The experience of viewing thumbnails for online-only images is so totally inconsistent and frustrating. There has to be a way to just cache thumbnails for everything reliably. If there isn't one, give us a right-click to Generate Thumbnail. đ
Viewing thumbnails in finder, bridge, etc locally for online-only files has been a constant pain for so many users for so long now, is anything being worked on for this?!
Yes, I know that you can alledgedly generate a thumbnail if you make the file offline, then online-only again.No, it doesn't work consistently. Some files get thumbnails, some don't. Some load quickly, others continue to load for ages.
How about a right-click "Generate Thumbnail"?
The disruption to work this causes when dealing with large image files is maddening.
This should be treated as a known bug.https://www.dropboxforum.com/discussions/101001012/cant-preview-photos-in-dropbox-folder-when-files-are-online-only/826416
