sync system driving me crazy
Hi, I am having problems with latest version of dropbox where original file is in library. I have tried everything, but I can't make progress
latest version of dropbox
latest version of Mac OS
...
The symbol means it is online only. You need to download it (usually trying to Open it will do that, but if its large right click on it and select 'Make available offline')
And no searching is a restriction and known issue with the new Mac setup 😞
Unfortunately its not possible to go back
My previous post-open file in Word, not system.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey Cathy Mendelsohn, thanks for posting your feedback on our Community.
Regarding searching for your Dropbox files through Finder, are you using Spotlight?
If so, after opening Finder, you might need to wait a little while and then try again, to see if it works.
If not, you might need to actually rebuild your spotlight index.
Also, you can take a look at this article with some more info on the expected changes on the new Dropbox for mac OS app.
If you're experiencing any issues that are not included in this list, please let us know and we'll happily investigate for you.
