Dropbox Smart Sync + Adobe Issues

It might be I'm a bit off target here, but my problem isn't as much that the files I have stored are only online files, but that there is a conflict between Dropbox sync and Adobe's own synchronization that breaks the links. I could of course let Adobe use a different default folder for all Adobe CC files, but instead I have chosen to let Dropbox ignore the Adobe folder (and by that automatically all subfolderse recursively), simply by applying this command in PowerShell once and for all. This is only a thing I have to do once, and now Dropbox completely ignores that particular folder and acts as it isn't a part of my Dropbox documents folder (as many other dropbox users I made my Documents Personal Folder point to Dropbox as that is a great convenience in almost any other scenario than Adobe). So instead of having to make a different folder for Adobe to work, but still be able to let Adobe use "Documents" personal folder I simply did the following:

I opened Powershell and entered the following command:

Set-Content -Path 'D:\Dropbox\Adobe\' -Stream com.dropbox.ignored -Value 1

(of course replacing the path to the location of your Dropbox folder. As you can see from the code snippet above, I personally keep my Dropbox on a separate disk (D:) - not just a separate partition - so I don't have to redownload all local files if I reinstall my Windows)

Using that command will make Dropbox sync ignore that folder including all subfolders. But the Personal Folder "Documents" will still point to "Documents\Adobe" which is by far the most stable solution for Adobe CC in my experience.

This is of course the Windows solution. There are similar solutions for Mac or Linux, and if that's what's needed I can return with a solution to those two environments as well.

If this is completely off topic I apologize in advance.

Any idea Adobe? This is so frustrating! I've been facing the same issue since the new Adobe After Effects version 22.3.0. It seems like Dropbox and Adobe lose their previous integration settings.

Any idea what's going on with this issue Adobe? It's so frustrating!!

Bump - it would be cool for Adobe to fix or acknowledge this issue.
The silence feels like a passive statement for "Well, why don't you pay us for Adobe Cloud Storage instead!?"  It makes me think of when Steve Jobs told everyone that the phone reception was fine, they were just holding their phone wrong.

Anyhow, same deal in Audition:
- Saving files the first time - I'll hit "save as" and if it's in a DropBox Sync'd folder, I can go have a snack and come back by the time the interface is responding again
- Recording in a multitrack workspace, all sorts of "could not save metadata" and "destination drive is full" errors

I found a solution for this.

In Illustrator you can do this:

Go to Preferences>File Handling and Clipboard>Number of Recent Files to Display (0-30) and change the value, either 0 or 1 if you want to have the recent file screen to show at all, 0 will show you just a black screen.

This should fix the issue.

Same issue here but for video which is where this issue gets so bad that I can no longer open older project files that reference offline content. Essentially Premiere pushes Dropbox to sync the data (which can end up being hundreds of GBs!)
