dropbox alias issues I have recently shifted to Ventura (13.0.1) and, almost simultaneous with this, Dropbox has recently updated to v164.4.7914, unilaterally shifting its architecture and location on my hard drive in the process. As a result of one or both of these changes, I am no longer able to create certain types of aliases within Dropbox folders on my Mac. Dropbox insists that this is a MacOS issue. What I know: In the past, I was able to make aliases for files and folders within Dropbox, then move them out of Dropbox, so that I could access the files within Dropbox from other locations on my hard drive. Since the above changes, I am still able to make aliases for certain kinds of files and folders from within Dropbox, but not for others. Specifically, I am no longer able to make aliases for .scriv files related to the word processing program Scrivener. These "files" are actually a kind of meta package (like a folder) that contain subfiles, but these subfiles cannot (to my knowledge) be opened by the Finder; they are, rather, opened by Scrivener. Notes: My attempts to create new .scriv aliases from within Dropbox appear to be successful for a few seconds; the correct icon appears, but then that icon changes to a blank document. When I attempt to click on this icon, I receive the following message "Item 'alias name' is used by macOS and can't be opened." I can still make, use, and move aliases for .scriv files NOT on Dropbox. .scriv aliases made in the past still function from within Dropbox. I can still make and use aliases for various other file types (e.g. .pdf, .docx) AND folders from within Dropbox. A substantial portion of my workflow hinges on the use of these aliases specifically for files housed in Dropbox. I will be grateful for any suggestions anyone can offer. Best wishes, -Josh
