Unable to Jupyter sync project directories with python environments on macOS
I am having trouble opening Jupyter notebooks created on one macOS computer (source) on another macOS computer (target) synced through Dropbox. The Dropbox app on the target computer shows that all ...

Yes. Furthermore, I can download the afflicted file from the Dropbox site and run it on the target mac.
I should perhaps draw attention again that the afflicted file (an "i-python} notebook) is not located in any of the folders that are identified as having sync issues by the destop app on the source computer.
The specific error (with part of the file path removed) the file raises on the target machine when I attempt to open it from the synced Dropbox directory is:
File Load Error for small-dataset-validation-methods.ipynb
Unreadable Notebook: /Users/.../small-dataset-validation-methods.ipynb NotJSONError("Notebook does not appear to be JSON: ''"

Hi welr,
Did you make sure desired files are available offline in advance? 🧐 If not, give it a try. You'll need to repeat in advance this whenever you want to do something with your project.
Good luck.

Hi @Здравко,
Yes, I believe they are available offline insofar as if I download them and send them through a chat or email, they run fine on either machine. It is peculiar that the source machine's Dropbox app is raising a sync error, but not for the directory of the afflicted ipynb file; everything runs fine on the source machine, but not on the target machine, for which there is no indication of a syncing error in the Dropbox app running on the target machine.
