Dropbox StaffHi Patentguy, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Is this only occurring for this Adobe file only? What about for files not in the Dropbox folder?
If the Dropbox desktop application has been exited, do you get the same issue?
Keep me updated with any details!

The access denied message only occurs when Adobe Acrobat tries to save a file to a Dropbox folder. I can save the PDF to my desktop and then move it into a Dropbox folder OR go through the linked account process. I can't save directly.
I do not get this error message when I save to OneDrive or when I save a Word file to Dropbox.
Updates: Same error messages when I uninstall and reinstall Dropbox (saving all files to local hard drive rather than online) and after uninstalling/reinstalling Acrobat.

Once you get a ticket ID from the automated response, please let me know the number here so I can locate it in our system.Contacted them by email. No response yet so no number.
Update 3: I can save a PDF from a website, e.g., filing receipt from the USPTO, directly to a Dropbox folder, but I cannot save a PDF into that same folder when: (a) I convert a Word document to a PDF using "Save as PDF", or (b) by printing the Word document to a pdf file using Adobe PDF or CutePDF.
Update 4: I had a Word version of the document I was working with in the above and found it renamed that morning as [filename](Lance Johnson's Conflicted Copy dated 12/10/2021). This is new. Is the Dropbox sync system acting in new ways that are causing these error messages?
