Unable to open file in Preview even though I have all permissions
This solution on the dropbox website solved my problem. However, I'm still perplexed! Where was the secret permission that wasn't visible from Get Info, ls
, or xattr
? Alternate answers with explanation would be welcome.
- Click on the Dropbox icon in your menu bar and then click on the gear in the Notifications panel.
- Select 'Preferences' then click on the 'Account' tab.
- Hold down the 'Option' key, and the "unlink this dropbox" button will change to "Fix Permissions". Click the button while continuing to hold down Option.
