Dropbox StaffWelcome aboard the forum, iulianbaciuonline.
Is this only happening with files you’re trying to save to your Dropbox app via Adobe Illustrator? Have you encountered a similar behavior when saving files to the Dropbox app from other third-party apps?
Can you send a screenshot of the extension that you mention, so that I may check it, as well?
Keep me updated.
Please see the screenshot below.

Hey iulianbaciuonline, since our desktop app seems to be syncing temp files while the exporting process takes place, can you try quitting or pausing syncing on the app, when you export the files?
That should resolve this issue for you.
- Yes. This solves the problem but its annoying. It's not a big problem, i thought you have a solution for this. Maybe you can create a setting to delay the sync process with 1-2 second after creating the file. Then the file can be fully created.
Thank you.
