Every since the latest update, double clicking on a file doesn't open it. Super frustrating.
Now everytime I want to open something I have to right click and use the Open With feature. Have tried re-install and restart multiple times.
Should have been clearer. This is in the Finder and this is for files that are not yet synced aka, they have they little cloud with arrow icon after the filename and extension.
This is what happens when I click on it. https://capture.dropbox.com/RrluBNquiL3G6sAq
It blinks as if it's about to open, but Preview doesn't jump up or turn on at all. Just the Finder window and the icon blinks a little bit.
And then when I click on it again (now that the cloud and arrow icon is no longer there). Nothing happens.
Here's an error message that appears sometimes—not everytime—I try to open a file. The other image shows that Dropbox is coming up as the main app even though Preview is set as the Default.
I should note that even going through Security & Privacy > Unlocking > Confirming that we can open from this unidentified developer — the problem persists.
Seems related to this update? https://help.dropbox.com/installs/macos-12-monterey-support
