    Hey cyeager - could you update to the latest stable version of the Dropbox desktop app from this page and let us know if this persists for you?

It is a huge Apple/Dropbox problem. You can no longer view online only files on an updated mac.

    Hey lucywightman, thanks for posting here and sorry to see that you're also having issues.

    Can you let me know more about it? What happens when you try to open online-only files on your Mac?

    If you could send a screenshot of the issue as well, so we can have a visual, it would be really helpful.
