I have a solution for FrameMaker's Dropbox compatibility issues, but I'm
afraid it only works in a niche environment. Sharing here in case it
benefits anybody.
I run FrameMaker in a Windows virtual machine under MacOS. Most of my
MacOS filesystem is managed under Dropbox. When I installed Dropbox on
the Windows VM, I got the same FM "save" errors that others have reported.
Solution:
- Don't run Dropbox on the Windows VM.
- Work with FM files on local Windows folders.
- Share the Windows folders with the MacOS side, which is running Dropbox.
I suspect variations of this solution are possible.

When following the instructions for working on files in Dropbox from FM 17,
I'm getting a herd of temp files saved with numeric extensions, and errors
displaying that the file I'm working on can't be saved. Also that the file
was saved but image data (Frameimage maybe?) was lost.
Anyone else using this feature and getting it to work seamlessly?
TIA,
