Files in project are inactive after PyCharm upgrade and I can't edit them
I have upgraded to PyCharm 2024.2.3 (Community Edition) from much older version, now when I open older projects, .py source files show up, but most can't be interacted with (file will not open when doubleclicking it). Files do exist and can be opened in notepad.
I have tried Repair IDE / Invalidate Chaches, even deleting .idea directory and reopening project.
I have no idea, what is happening, there are no error messages.
Viz screenshot: brown/gold cant be opened, grey ones work as expected:

That's really odd. Does it happen only with old projects, or are newly created ones also affected?
Please also reproduce the problem, get the idea.log (Help | Show Logs in...), upload it here: https://uploads.services.jetbrains.com/ and tell us the upload ID.
Id is 2024_10_31_eyrcFFx1kc62UFaeDRivCX
example file that ide does not open is C:\pri\Dropbox\Code\adventure\licenses.md
Thanks for looking at this
Please avoid using any cloud-shared drives as your project or virtual environment root. Data synchronization mechanisms are obscure, and such directories are not designed to work with "live" files.
We have an article on how to mitigate the impact of using Dropbox (in case there is no alternative: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/11314374295954-Project-root-in-Dropbox-directory), but we do not guarantee stable work in such directories since they are managed by third-party software.
