Save on network drive bad issue (file damage)

Question

Hello everyoneMy serious problem is that when I open the file ‘12012345_01_F.ai’ and save it as a PDF and replace the PDF file ‘12012345_01_F.pdf’ it creates a temporary file but doesn't replace the PDF and ends up damaging the file. I can only solve this if I'm doing the work directly on my mac, but here we work on a network and we save everything on a Mac Pro Server with AFP protocol (it's the best for doing searches on our server). I know that Adobe advises against working on a network, but despite having 1 TB of storage in the creative cloud, we don't want to work there. We have 4 imac's with the previous operating system, with the same versions of adobe illustrator and they don't have this problem. And the performance of saving on the network is slowwwwww. Mac OS Sequoia solve this? anyone know that?

I have always been advised against working across the network. We had so many issues at one agancy whose IT team encouraged it. There are so many factors which can cause file damage.

We ususally copied file, edited then copied back overwirting or as a subsequent version.

In my last company we got round this by using a version control system (Subversion or Git depending on the team)
