I moved a project into dropbox folder for backup, then accidentally opened up that dropbox projecct and was working live in it. So I copy and pasted my work back onto harddrive.
After that, I’m getting tons of missing assembly references on many of my third party assets. From what I read, this means some link to higher tier library of code is broken, but I don’t know how to figure out what it is.
I’ve gone through all packages that are required and reimported them to no avail.
Next experiment is to reimport full project. Any advice in mean time?
I hadn’t seen problems working in a dropbox folder just locally. Did you open the dropbox project on multiple computers? Because the biggest problem I’ve seen (and why I would recommend never putting projects in a dropbox folder) is what dropbox calls conflicted copies. Dropbox has no means of merging changes, so if you make edits to a file which dropbox has a new version of it hadn’t yet downloaded to you, you end up with duplicates of the file with crazy long names.
This can get really crazy in the library folder for example. You’ll end up having to just delete the whole library rather than try to sort it out manually.
If you use dropbox for backup, just copy a zip file of your project folder instead.

Unfortunately i did this last night when i was pretty tired, and I’m not sure exactly what i did. I am only working locally, but between yesterday when things were working and now when they aren’t, only thing that changed was I worked in dropbox project, saved it, and then copied project from dropbox back to harddrive.
