Question

Can't save XD files at all, windows 10

I can no longer save an XD file. Tried multiple existing XD files, cannot "save as". Tried brand new file. Tried over network and on local drive. I get no errors, it just creates a 0KB xd file and then a temp file.

If I click on the XD file I get an error 48, error opening the file. I think XD is just opening some sort of last auto saved file right now, that's the only way I'm currently able to keep my work with the last thing I worked on. Stays titled as Unititled-1. This is garbage. Tried rebooting, doesn't help. I have the latest version of XD.

Very useful application, but kind of getting tired of running into so many show-stopping bugs with this thing.

    Still having this issue often. Lost a lot of work here when I didn't notice it saved a file as a 0kb file, not temp file associated with it. This was just a save to the downloads folder on my main hard drive. Very very very frustrating. Only happens with XD.

    Copy that temp file to newfilename.xd and see if you can open that. Are you saving on a network drive, by any chance?

    Thanks, that fixed the file, and it allows me to save on it now. As my post mentioned, I tried saving as to both the hard drive and network drive and it's done the same thing for the last couple files that I did that with, however I think I tried saving as on over the network first - could that have permanently messed something up until renaming the temp file?

    It's weird, never had this issue until now, we've been using XD for several months.

    If you’re using Google Drive, some people have seen intermittent problems saving while it’s on. We’re still trying to reproduce that on our side, as it seems to happen infrequently, and potentially with specific network setups. We’d love to hear back from you as to what network drive/system you were using.
