Logic Pro files disappearing

I got a new macbook (M2) and migrated from my old macbook (2019 intel).    Initially I set all of my dropbox folders to online only so I could then manually select what I wanted to keep local.    ...

Hi everyone, the issue you're experiencing could be related to the recent File Provider update to the Dropbox desktop application.


Unfortunately, syncing Logic Pro library files on cloud-storage services (including Dropbox) is no longer supported on macOS 12.5 or later. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Hi Jay, I'm having the same issue here with a new MBP M2. Some (not all) of my Logic Pro files cannot be opened. I get following error messages:

Trying to make file offline:

 

Trying to make file offline (different window):

Trying to open the file:

I tried downloading the whole folder and also just the single Logic file from the web and it does not help.

 

You wrote "Unfortunately, syncing Logic Pro library files on cloud-storage services (including Dropbox) is no longer supported". Okay, but how do I recover or revert these files so I can transfer them to my drive? Or did I lose them completely? 

I've been using and paying for Dropbox for years (with Logic files working completely fine) and I'm just looking for any way to recover my projects. Since I'm using Dropbox as a backup solution, I don't have them anywhere alse.

 

Thanks a lot for your help!
