Can't open files because of "nsfileprovidererrordomain error -2005.\" What do I do?!

My computer crashed recently, and afterwards a lot of my files wouldn't open and it said it was because of "nsfileprovidererrordomain error -2005." I tried looking up what to do but nothing online really made sense and it was not offering me a solution to the problem. What should I do?

It means of something that's not there in your computer. Have you been using Dropbox or something like that?

Those files are no there in your computer, and/or cannot be downloaded from wherever they're before.
