After effect projects

Hello,

There are some issue with opening After Effect projects (mostly big projects).

After effect is a program that is linking a lot of files, A LOT, 100-300 Go. I think Box has trouble with all these linked files.

And with Box there is sometimes no way to open this project after a few weeks closing it. 

Yes I have downloaded (make folder available offline) the whole folder with all files (128go), so I don't understand what the problem is...

No, it's not After effect, any other projects work when I store them on a drive.

No I have no error message at all, After effect just blocks.

Yes, all files are in the same folder and not dispatched.

 

Anyone has a workaround ? Thanks.

    Maybe there is a start of answer for the devs:

    I have a Premiere Pro file where I importe the After effect file.

    I open the Premiere Pro file (even if I don't need it) and that unlocks everything and After Effect opens the file...

    There is a problem with Dynamic links maybe.
