I currently have Dropbox version 3.10.11 and have had these same problems for years now on all my Adobe CS6 Products. It seems to be a timing issue. When Photoshop or other products are saving to the dropbox folder, I am asked questions, and when it comes time to finally save, it get an error, and have to try again. Sometimes it will fail out the second or third time and finally it saves. I believe the file is in the process of synchronizing up to dropbox and prevents it from overwriting the file. If Dropbox could start the synchronization a minute or even 30 seconds after a file is created, or gave this option in the preferences, then all would be happy.
I started disabling Dropbox while working on files in Dropbox, then enable it at the end of the day. A pain!!!!
Dropbox, when will you fix this issue??????????
I've lost countless hours of life dealing with this issue, life that I will never get back, life that I could have used to spend with my family!!!!
Thanks Dropbox, I have been paying 9.99 for years, and still this problem exist....
I am a programmer, maybe you can hire me to fix this for you.
