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 ...

Having the same issue here. However I am currently running AutoCAD 2012. The funny thing is I can save drawings to AutoCAD 2010 with no problems so far. Others who are running more recent versions of AutoCAD are unable to even save to 2010. The problem seems to show up when we save drawings more than a few versions back from the version we are running and not necessarily a specific version. For example; I am running 2012 and can save back to 2010, while others are running 2015 or 2016 and can only save back to 2013.
Unfortunately in my case our company by default saves our drawings to AutoCAD 2004. I know that is old and obsolete, but some people still use my drawings that that are running 2004 so I am forced to save all my drawings to a version that old. Also like everyone else, this was never a problem until the last few months when working in dropbox.
Like everyone else, my problem goes away if I pause syncing.
I like using dropbox but am looking for an alternative because of this unresolved issue.
