I've started having this issue in the last month or so while working in Photoshop. I've used the same process for nearly three years, which is to open a PSD file from a Dropbox folder and do a "Save As" and a "Save" (first to save as a TGA file, then to save the PSD) as I work on it. I do this every few minutes or so. This process has worked fine with no errors for years, but I'm now getting a message (randomly, but very often) that Photoshop is unable to save the file. When this happens the original file that I'm saving over is deleted from the folder. If I pause Dropbox syncing this does not happen and I'm able to work on the files like I always have.
