<p>It should be created only when (a) the document has unsaved
changes and (b) autosave has been activated and the timeout period
has elapsed. See Tools> Preferences> Look & Feel>
Document Handling, under Backup & Saving for the setting. (As
I said previously, if this is a shared Dropbox folder, then the
file could have been created by someone else's machine.)</p>

<div class="gmail_quote">Maybe it's a permissions issue? Did
you check in Dropbox if you are allowed to change that

something unexplainable(for an average user at least)

<div dir="ltr">What I have tried is using another file

<div>I have just made what you suggested (saving the
file outside of Dropbox) and the following message
appears:</div>
<div>
<div><img alt="image.png" width="436" height="177"><br>
</div>
</div>
<div>That is a first! I do not even know what it means
or why did it appear. The original file is in the
Dropbox folder, a new copy is in my Desktop, so no,
the file is shared (and not opened by someone else
as I have updated the version number and my coauthor
is seated besides me). Saved, modified, resaved, no
problem with the copy. Closed the copy, opened the
original, modified, saved, the write failure error
appears.<br>

<div>This is a warning from dropbox. "#file.lyx# is an
autosave file of lyx, where your current work is saved
when you don't manually save for a certain period of time,
so when lyx crashes you can recover that file and don't
lose all the progress.</div>
<div>When you close lyx while the file is present, lyx
deletes it. Dropbox doesn't know that it is just a backup
file so it warns you that you are deleting a file from the
cloud storage and therefore "it will no longer be shared
with anyone".</div>
<div>What is strange here is that the warning only happens
when you hit "save unter" and save outside of dropbox.
When you just close lyx (so the file also gets deleted)
there is no warning, maybe we should investigate, I
probably will later.<br>
</div>
<div>That would explain this warning and you can just ignore
it.</div>
