It sounds like what you're experiencing in this case is expected, as the desktop app is trying to maintain a consistent structure to reflect the permissions that already exist in your Dropbox account.
As such, whenever you're editing such files, I'd recommend pausing the desktop app from syncing, and then resuming it after you've finished editing.
I know that this might not be the answer you're looking for, but let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks again!
