Issue:
ARCHICAD cannot Save a project when that project file is located inside a folder that syncs to a file hosting service (like Dropbox,Google Backup & Sync, etc.)
In some very rare occasions, data loss or file corruption may occur.
Reason
ARCHICAD’s Save function is a complicated process that involves generating temporary files, lock files and extended disk I/O operation.
Most popular sync clients have no periodical check for file changes and try to sync whenever a change is detected on a monitored folder. While sync client is inpatient to send the file changes, ARCHICAD is still performing the Save operation. That results in a system lock where ARCHICAD fails to successfully complete the saving sequence of the project file.
