Getting an error saving an Autocad file, tmp files created?
I use Autocad to work on files I have stored and shared here in Dropbox. My Autocad is set to save every ten minutes. I also manually save very often because I've learned a valuable lesson once when ...

I also just started having this issue with saving my AutoCAD Files on Dropbox. I have been doing it for several months with no issues - but just recently The warning message in AutoCAD Shows up saying the file cannot be saved (directly to where the file is located on Dropbox). What is strange is that I can click "OK" on this error message and then try to save it again, which will likely produce the error again - but if I keep hitting okay and then trying to save again - eventually It will save....So I just don't understand the consistancy issues. It certainly does seem like Dropbox as I do not have these issues with saving on my desktop or any other drive for that matter. Here is a link to a webpage I found on AutoDesk's website - but I honestly do not understand the whole Indexing by Windows - but it seems like that could be a solution - or even "disabling the TCP Offload setting in your network adapter". Please post if you have any luck with anything....So Annoying!
