I immediately get a Finder message pop-up saying: "You don’t have permission to change the application for this document only. I go through the same process with them Right-click the file > Get info > Open with: (this says Dropbox) so I change to native app from the list (that again in fact has 'Default' in brackets beside the title). problem is that when I try to open any other Excel doc in my Dropbox by double clicking, it downloads but we're back to square one and it opens in in my browser so clearly the instruction to "change all similar documents to open with the application “Microsoft Excel?" hasn't been applied by Finder to files within the Dropbox folder.Įxactly the same thing happens with Adobe Files (Acrobat PDF, Illustrator AI, Indesign INDD) with the only difference being that they don't open in in my browser they just magnify momentarily on double-click after downloading as if they are about to activate the corresponding Adobe App but nothing happens.
double-click the file in question again and voila. Do you want to change all similar documents to open with the application “Microsoft Excel”? "This change will apply to all documents with extension “.xlsx”."īrilliant I think. Right-click the file > Get info > Open with: (this says Dropbox) so I Change to Microsoft Excel from the list (that in fact has 'Default' in brackets beside the title). I want the file to open in the native application (Word/Excel/Powerpoint) on my Mac so I follow the instructions as follows (Using an Excel doc as the example here): This is what happens (All MS Apps) - When I double click a Microsoft document (Word/Excel/Powerpoint) that is in my Dropbox (now located in ~Libraries) the document downloads (great) and then opens in in my browser (not so great). I have followed all the instructions on this thread and none work.
I'm running the Beta on a backup machine (Mac M1 2020) that is running macOS Ventura 13.0.1
I too am having this problem with the latest Beta of Dropbox v1 but not just with PDFs, it is happening with all files.
