Delete files doesnt work when offline, macos Monterey; texshop issue

Hello,

I have updated to macos Monterey and I am now experiencing the following problems that I never had before: First, if I try to delete a file when I am offline, then the finder gets stuck on the operation and the deleting never takes place. Second, and possible related, I run an application (texshop) that needs to be able to delete temporary files it creates. This is no longer possible through the automatic command on the app, and I have to delete them manually (which only works if i am on line). Has anybody experienced such problems? It possibly is some simple business of allowing permission, but i dont know...

Thanks,

Simone

    Hi SimoneSag 

     

    Just so I can work it out in my head, how is the texshop app related to the Dropbox issue? Does the application use / edit files in the Dropbox directory or not?
