Also experiencing what might be widespread corruption of files. Mostly .psd and .zip files that I have been testing. From a range of folders that are also only stored online (not locally). Syncing them via the desktop app or downloading from the web directly made no difference. The files seem to have been corrupted while stored in DB.

Hi Brooknei, could you clarify exactly how they are corrupted? Are the files not loading, or not showing any information?

 

Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!
