Dropbox StaffHey dropmeinbox, let me also jump in here!
I'm afraid we can't access your link due to security & privacy reasons. Do you think you can try clicking on our camera-button icon, and attaching some screenshots here?
Also, how long has this been going on for?

Hi Megan ,
The following are the screenshots though I don't know how much info you can get out of them.
Screenshot 1: The .rdp file is successfully moved from folder-1 to folder-2.
Screenshot 2: The .rdp file is recreated in folder-1 with zero bytes.

Thanks for the added info dropmeinbox!
Both of the paths: ~/Dropbox/shared/folderA/ & ~/Dropbox/shared/folderB/ are part of the same Dropbox account, right?
Also, can you try to open the zero byte file? If so, does it preview?

Hi Megan ,
Yes ~/Dropbox/shared/folderA/ & ~/Dropbox/shared/folderB/ belong to the same Dropbox account. Their parent folder ~/Dropbox/shared/ is shared (with read/write permission) to another Dropbox account.
The zero bytes file cannot be opened/previewed. For example, I cannot open a zero-bytes .pdf file since it's not really in PDF format and the PDF viewer would complain.
