This issue started to appear on macOS 13 Ventura after recent Dropbox update. I would normally use a Spotlight search to search the files I have in my Dropbox folder that I commonly use (excel, word and plain text documents). Spotlight would find the files but once I select the file and click on it (or press return) it wouldn’t open the file with app associated with the file.
This was driving me mad as it also affected my productivity as now I would open Dropbox folder and then manually find the file I need and then double click to open it. It was driving me nuts for couple of days!
I tried just about anything: from reinstalling Dropbox to syncing all files I have in Dropbox again, to reindexing all files I have on my mac and nothing worked out. The Spotlight would just not just wouldn’t open any of my Dropbox files!

High Efficiency (the new HEIC format)
Most Compatible (standard JPEG format)
If you go to Settings -> Camera -> Formats you’ll see these two options. On all iPhone 7 or newer devices High Efficiency format is enabled by default.

Recently I have upgraded your macOS on my MacBook Air from Sierra to High Sierra. After the update (that took some time to complete) everything seemed to be working fine… until I was about to do some more coding and have I tried to execute git. I’ve got this error:
I have tried to setup Sublime Text 3 so I could run it on my new Mac from terminal just typing subl . but all the when I wanted to make the symlink I was getting this error: ln: /usr/local/bin/subl: No such file or directory all the time.
The problem is that I had no bin directory on that path. So to fix that you need to do the following:
cd /usr/local
sudo mkdir bin
Now we have that bin folder on /usr/local/bin path and now we can create the link using:
