We are not working on the same document at the same time. On 7/18/2020 at 1:53 PM, fde101 said: AFS share rather than a CIFS (SMB) I tried both with the same results... I know that serif was not able to reproduce this. And it's most likely a special problem with my working environment so I'm just trying to find out what causes this problem.

So far I have never encountered a file corruption issue, although I have Dropbox configured to always keep local copies, which are kept in sync with the cloud. Therefore, Affinity is always working from a local copy on the internal drive without being aware that Dropbox is saving changes to the cloud in the background. Maybe this is not ideal or not recommended, but this is the reality of many modern organisations. Old Bruce and Seneca 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
