    <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the info&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1251638"&gt;@NiklasB&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;That does indeed sound rather strange. &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@86FF27E33EE6AE58E01795BD66324A7F/images/emoticons/1f914.png" alt=":thinking:" title=":thinking:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In this case, saving the file would be down to the app used to make the edits, so the file being saved in another location might be due to a setting within Word.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would suggest reaching out to &lt;A href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Microsoft Support&lt;/A&gt; to find out why the app is saving the file to the incorrect location on the device that you mentioned.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Sorry that I can't be of much more help with this, but please don't hesitate to get back to me with any other questions.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;When I have opened a Word file from Dropbox and start editing it, when I want to save it it suddenly renames it and saves it in temp folder on my Mac. Why is that?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1251638"&gt;@NiklasB&lt;/a&gt;, I hope you're well today!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Just to make sure that I fully understand what is happening, I have a few questions to ask you.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Could you give me an example of the file name when it is renamed? Does this look like a temporary Word file?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Is the file removed from its original location when saved, or is it relocated only while it is open and being edited?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you'd like, please feel free to share any screenshots about this (excluding any personal info).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Let me know what you find!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the screenshot&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1251638"&gt;@NiklasB&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It seems that Word is creating temporary files, which are used to temporarily store file info when it's being edited to free up the computer memory, or to prevent data loss.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The temporary file should only exist while the current session of Word is open, and it shouldn't result in the original file being removed from its location.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;When you save the file and close the Word app, the changes should be saved to the file in the original location and the temporary file will be deleted.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you'd like to read a bit more about these temporary files and how they work, you can check out this Microsoft article &lt;A href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/211632/description-of-how-word-creates-temporary-files" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;here&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You shouldn't need to worry about this, it's a feature of the Word app that is expected and assists you with editing your files and preventing data loss.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks Daphne for your reply!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The problem is, that when I press save, it saves the file in the new location, and the changes made to the file do not appear in the original location. This has happened a few times...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We can of course by-pass this by being alert and choosing Save as and use the original name, but this is not user friendly!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We have this problem only on one mac, our other works fine in this respect...!&lt;/P&gt;</description>
