Well, it seems if you have another antivirus (in my case AVIRA) Windows passes this feature to it. So no, this does not seem to be the problem (I disabled it via registry editor, though). Regards, Julio Rojas jcredbe...@gmail.com On Tue, Sep 22, 2020 at 12:21 PM wrote: > Might it be this

About your original issue: Maybe it's a permissions issue? Did you check in Dropbox if you are allowed to change that file. I mean I have seen enough wired stuff where something unexplainable(for an average user at least) happened, and maybe dropbox changing permissions is one of those? About the

Thanks, Paul. On my Mac the error does not appear. I would check back on my Windows computer to see if I find this file hidden in the folder, as I cannot see it on my Mac (I can see it for another file that is currently opened by my coauthor in a Mac). Regards, Julio Rojas jcredbe...@gmail.com

I have three computers, each with a different OS (Linux, Windows and MacOS), and have only seen this problem in Windows and in this file. I created a folder within the folder of the original file, created a copy, modified it, resave it and the error again appears. I am going to switch to my MacOS

What I have tried is using another file in Dropbox, writing and rewriting it. The error does not appear. I have just made what you suggested (saving the file outside of Dropbox) and the following message appears: [image: image.png] That is a first! I do not even know what it means or why did it
