At the end of the transfer, that flag is removed. What happens is that when a file is synced, your computer and the Dropbox cloud server establish communications, and then set an ‘in use’ flag on the file (on both ends) while the transfer is taking place. This risk is usually slight, but it sounds like you might have won that particular lottery. This all started happening maybe a few months ago.Īnytime you’re transferring (copying or moving or syncing) a file between two places, there is the risk of file corruption if the transfer gets interrupted.
Dropbox is in constant sync mode, and this in itself is puzzling because all file or folder changes sync at normal tempo. I tracked it down to Dropbox and solved it by closing Dropbox. Occasionally but regularly I get an error message when I try to delete or move a file or folder saying that a file is in use by another program (never specified, of course).
