Error "Could not save because the file is already in use" when editing with Photoshop

Hi
The problem I mentioned below has been quite common since the last Dropbox update and continues to cause problems. This problem occurs in 4 out of every 10 photos saved from all 10 PCs I use. It is important for us to find a solution to this problem.

ADobe Photoshop 
Could not save as "..........." because the file is already in use or was left open by another application.
