AP freezing when saving a document

[Sig. Galvani]

Heya everyone; I have been using Affinity software for a while now, and now i got this "freeze-while-saving" thing too.

Rig: Win10 (64) running on an Asus laptop, 32gb RAM, saving files on 250gb SSD, nVidia1060 GPU.

So, APhoto first froze while exporting a file into TIFF format (it happened again while trying PSD format as an alternative as well).

PATTERN: I exported a first version of the [small simple] file with no problems. As i made some changes (turning on/off some layers) and tried to export a second time, as soon as i hit the "Export", it freezes altogether. Nothing to do except force quit on task manager. It's NOT RANDOM so far, I CAN REPLICATE, it happens on the second export after restarting APhoto (first export happens with no problems).

[EDIT:] Doesn't seem with other files, just with this specific file.

I export using shortcut CTRL+Shift+Alt+S

The files are syncing with google drive sync. No embedded docs that im aware of.

[EDIT 2:] Happened the exact same way (ie, on the second export, now into PDF) but this time in APublisher. Source files for the pages were JPEGs from a USB drive (On the first case source files were from the laptop SSD.). This was while exporting directly to the USB drive. No cloud sync working now.

Thank you for your time
