<p>Again, it's just a guess, but I think this might have been a
'stale' lockfile. It got left behind at some point so Dropbox is
confused. That's why the file seems like a 'normal' file somehow
and you're being asked if you want to delete it.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Thanks, Paul. On my Mac the error does not
appear. I would check back on my Windows computer to see if
I find this file hidden in the folder, as I cannot see it on
my Mac (I can see it for another file that is currently

<div>The file #DCHT_2020_v5.lyx# looks like some kind
of lockfile or tracking file that Dropbox writes
(maybe hidden), though that's only a guess. Hence,
moving the file would remove that thing. It's
possible that saving it didn't work because Dropbox
thinks it's open on another machine.<br>

I can confirm that the #...# file is a lock placed by
Dropbox to avoid collisions. That said, I've never
gotten a message from Dropbox telling me it was deleting
the lock file.<br>
