No it is not is the file that does not open and give this error message..

Again local doesn't seem to be the problem.. It is the file that was copied locally that opens.  This one that got synced from my other pc does not open. 

so no... this does not sadly solve it.

Again the workaround is to copy the file locally and work from that.   making it 'local' in the dropbox pulldown changes nothing.

Sorry that you are having the same issue as me, but also glad it's not only me !

I can use files on Dropbox fine if I have ever saved them from my machine. Is it the same case

with your work ?

Even if someone else has handled them in the interim, I can open them again as expected.

It's just old files ( previous machine ) and other peoples files that I can't access ( MAX not recognising as max files )
