I have this exact same issue - also on a MacBook Pro M1 Pro.

 

Files that I right-click and set to "Make available offline" appear to download, a green tick appears, with the words "Available Offline" underneath. But if I double-click on the file it tries to open in Dropbox - and the Open With is set to open in Dropbox by default.

Hi Ian J.10, happy Friday! 

 

Which version of our app do you use on your end, and what is your OS?

 

Let me know more!

    Hi Megan. My set up is exactly the same as the original poster (MacBook Pro M1 with Ventura 13.1 running Dropbox v164.4.7914) and I have the exact same issue. šŸ˜Š

      Hi.

      Same problem here!

      The last few days have been a  nightmare... Any solution?

      Please, let me know how my dropbox can work well like before the update.

       

      My setup is a MacBook Pro M1 with Ventura 13.1 running Dropbox v164.4.7914
