My file has not been modified outside of Illustrator!

I keep getting this dialog box when I try to save various files, but the documents have definitely not been modified in any other program. I'm not even renaming these files elsewhere. Does anyone know why I keep getting this message, and what I can do to stop it? I continue saving the file anyway, but it's getting irritating to keep seeing the dialog box so frequently, and it's disrupting my workflow quite a bit when it shows up multiple times throughout the course of trying to save a project.

I'm having the same issue and my files are on DropBox. I definitely think it's an issue with High Sierra and how files are syncing. I'm not sure if your desktop is doing this or not, but Apple added a "feature" that syncs the desktop files across your devices through iCloud. So if my files are doing it with DropBox syncs and yours are doing it with a syncing desktop then that leads me to believe the files may be "touched" by the system after a save to sync them. Then Illustrator sees the file as being touched by something else and gives the error.

Paul thanks for the suggestion, but the two computers are not even signed in to ICloud. We also have the Creative Cloud Sync turned off in the preferences for Creative Cloud. I agree that it sure looks like something in High Sierra, since we did not have this issue until this OS update. Not sure if it's Apple or Adobe's problem. If you have any other suggestions let us know.

Thank You

We're having the same issue after High Sierra was loaded on two different Macs. We are working on our desktop and are not using the new file system in High Sierra? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
