File Saving Issues (Adobe Audition)
Hi folks!
I've been running into exactly the same issue as Johnny in the below thread:
Was there any resolution to this? Adobe Audition is my #1 most used program - I record voiceover for a living and use Dropbox for sending files to clients - and the issue seems to have gotten worse lately, for whatever reason.

Hey ThomasGB, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community today.
Are you also getting the same error message? Can you send us a screenshot, so we can check it out?
Also, what is the sync status and version of the Dropbox application on your computer?
You can see that by hovering over the Dropbox icon in your system tray/menu bar.
Thanks.
Hi
I am a Dropbox user on multiple devices with different Operating systems, and am seeing the same error on some PCs - Windows 10 or 11 - but not on others. I have seen this with Adobe Audition and Microsoft Word.
In Word, I may open a file I have downloaded from a website, or opened from a locally-saved Dropbox folder. After editing, when I Save As, and rename the file, the save never takes place. In Audition, if I open a local audio file, edit, and save as something completely different, I get an error message saving the disk is full or it cannot write to disk.
I've seen some users here suggest to Pause Sync, which takes care of the problem, but then I have to remember to resume, or my work is not saved to the cloud. This is an unnecessary extra step, and not a good solution. I have noticed sometimes after MULTIPLE attempts the file will eventually save. Also, saving the file with the SAME name does not seem to cause an error, but sometimes I want to keep the original file, and save the new once (hence, using Save As).
I have had this problem on Windows 10 and 11 PCs, but also have had Windows 10 and 11 PCs that have NOT had this problem. So there seems to be no reason why. Other than the issues have happened with newer installs of Dropbox (i.e., the last year) as opposed to machines I have had it on for several years (3-4).
Any suggestions? Is there a setting perhaps that should be changed? Is Dropbox maybe creating a temp file that can't be accessed? I run an audio-driven website featuring many short-form interviews and also have to edit quickly in the field and this is a major inconvenience.

Hey mikepav, thanks for reaching out.
I merged your post to this thread, which seems relevant.
Can you check the versions of the Dropbox application installed on your computers as well as the sync status and let me know?
On Windows computers, you can see that when hovering your mouse over the Dropbox icon in your system tray.
Hey Hannah,
Apologies for the wait on this - hectic couple of weeks!
Here's a few screenshots of the errors I'm running into.

The sync status is "up to date", and I'm on version 148.3.4504.
Let me know if there's any other details you need - appreciate you looking into it!

Hi ThomasGB, thanks for the info, I'd recommend getting in contact with the support team directly for further assistance on this matter.
Once you get a ticket ID from the automated response, please let me know the number here so I can locate it in our system.
Audio files from 2020 and before won 't load into Adobe Audition. There are error messages galore. DropBox has identified this problem but
it persists. I have to hire -and pay- an expert to get me one of those files every time I need it. Does anyone have a fix, suggestion or
know someone at DropBox - a real person- I can call???????
