Opening files automatically in Premiere (with Monterey)

Question

I've just updated my system to Monterey and I'm having a problem with my old workflow. I used to open projects in Premiere and the app would find and synchronize automatically every file I needed from dropbox. Now the files I don't have at hand look all like OFFLINE, and If I try to link them one by one, it doesn't download them and send me an error message. 
I've read this link https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/macos-12-monterey-support about some issues with third-party applications, could this mean that I can't work anymore as I was doing before? 
I hope there is some workaround for this, or maybe I've configurated something wrong in my own computer.

Thanks.

I have the same issue where online-only files, once reconnected as offline BEFORE I link them still gives me a generic error. Only fixable with deleting the media cache entirely. This is unacceptable. I work on large projects and deleting current caches seriously slows my workflow down as every single clip needs to be re-indexed by Premiere.

This problem existed in Monterey and now in Ventura without a remedy. This means it's been over a year and still nothing. Beyond frustrating.

Unfortunately I have encountered an issue now where an online-only file, once synced back to the computer will give an error when trying to link it back to Premiere (and InDesign). The only way around it is to copy the files to my desktop and link from there. PLEASE fix this.

Oh, I see, I was afraid of exactly that.

Hope you can find a workaround soon! Thanks for your time! 🙂

Best!
