In an effort to allow “non-Administrators” to install the software, they don’t use The reason you’re having trouble finding it, is that it does not install itself in the usual location. It’s software that makes itself deliberately obtuse, and or hard to remove and encourages our users to violate Policies designed to prevent legal quandaries. I'm certain this part is key to the mystery somehow, I'm just not the detective to solve it.( imported comment written by SystemAdmin)Īs a support professional in an Enterprise setting, I’ve come to despise DropBox. The only problem seems to be that the files that were "Online Only" before reindexing are now forever marked to be opened by Dropbox by default, while he files that were "Available Offline" before reindexing behave the same as before. The toggling between "Online Only" and "Available Offline" also shows no issues. ![]() Clicking "Always Open With" and selecting the correct application opens the file as it should and fixes the problem for that one individual file only, not the entire file type.Clicking "Open With" and selecting the correct application opens the file as it should, but doesn't fix the problem.If I open the Inspector window, same thing. Dropbox is on top of their "Open With" list, but the correct app still has "(default)" next to it.(I know this because if I quit the Dropbox Desktop App, double clicking any of these files will re-open it.) When I make them "Available Offline", they try to open with Dropbox on double-click.The files and folders that were "Online Only" before the update and re-indexing are the ones behaving in the way I described: The files and folders that were "Available Offline" before i updated Dropbox and re-indexed all the files are fine.They behave as they should, and Dropbox is not on top of their "Open With" list.

Note this may be similar to the following post, but prior to using the beta I could not open from the Finder at all without first manually setting the file to "Make available offline": thanks for the response! I've rebooted my computer as well as the Dropbox App to no effect. Dropbox is a cloud-based file management service that allows users to store all their important files, documents, and images at a single location and access. I started using the Dropbox beta a couple months ago, and this has been the behavior for the duration. Additionally, even though I change the default for all similar file types, the default remains Dropbox for all other files. However, the default will revert to Dropbox later. In the "get info" screen for the file, I can change the default application manually to the correct program and get the desired behavior. The desired behavior is to automatically download the file and open the default application for the file extension, as is currently the behavior on Windows. A secondary issue, but this typically fails as well (see image below).
