This has happened to me 3 times in the last 7 days. The first time it happened was the first time I have ever seen this happen. I proceed with editing attributes in my digitized shapefile and randomly I'll get a message saying "Workspace is read-only, can't save edits". There is only ONE button to click "Okay" and when you click that, all of your unsaved edits disappear - not even giving you the opportunity to try and re-save, export, or anything! At first I thought it happened to occur because I happened to click save edits at the EXACT same time my Dropbox was syncing but then I realized that working in Dropbox is the exact same as working locally because it saves to my computer's folder with or without an internet connection and simply syncs whenever the connection is available - so it couldn't be that. Now that I am saving edits after every 4 or 5 edits (so annoying), I had it happen 2 more times yesterday. I have NO idea why this happens but it is so frustrating when clearly my file is not read only. I created the file, it is stored on my machine and I am the only one with access to the file. Anybody else still having this same issue?
