[Framers] [Frame] Kinda wonky '17 support for Dropbox

[Bernard Aschwanden]

I've had issues with FM/Dropbox earlier too. FM2015. The issues seemed to be
the worst when books update, and I have things like the create lock or
create backup on. Even without it there are times a large book publishes (or
I work with DITA and convert to an FM file) and temp files are created. The
backup builds/vanishes/reappears/overwrites/grrrrr more than I care to
admit. I end up just working local and don't use the feature at all.

I do however use Dropbox later to take the final book and make it available
with all components, so it's not an all or nothing. Hope that helps a bit.

Bernard

Subject: [Framers] [Frame] Kinda wonky '17 support for Dropbox

When following the instructions for working on files in Dropbox from FM 17,
I'm getting a herd of temp files saved with numeric extensions, and errors
displaying that the file I'm working on can't be saved. Also that the file
was saved but image data (Frameimage maybe?) was lost.

Anyone else using this feature and getting it to work seamlessly?

TIA,
Art
