    Yes, and it wasn't a Dropbox issue. It was the antivirus I was using. An update to the antivirus corrected the behavior.

Just signed up to Dropbox Business only to discover this problem... Hope a fix will be sorted soon, this is quite disastrous if zipping each Logic Pro X project file is the best option! Edit: Also, the solution didn't work for me as I'm not running any antivirus software and this is still happening.

same thing here,

Logic files upload fine to Dropbox but when I apply Smart Syncing and Online only, they won't stay there at all, and will remain local. 

It seems it has something to do with the plist file inside every logic Resource folder (which is inside the logic package), but it'll be a nightmare for me to delete the extension in all logic files or zip them all, as Brian L.30 suggested.

 

Has anyone found a solution?

    Nope I still have the same problem, I am very disappointed with drop box at not even acknowledging this bug.
