Error: 49 while try to save the file in XD.

I have created a cloud document to connect to XD file to use its assets library. My issue is, as soon as the cloud document size reached to 550kb you cannot save any changes. When you try to save you get Error: 49 message.

 

Yes, I did try to clearing TMP files, sign out and sign in again, uninstall XD and install it again. Delete the Cloud file and then recreate another, but even the new file once it reaches to 550kb you cannot save for further and pop out same Error: 49.

 

In Sketch, you won't get issues with cloud libraries. This makes Adobe XD very unreliable for work I'm afraid.

 

Please advise me and I hope you will fix this issue in your next release.

Correct answer Preran

For all of you that are facing this issue, try the solutions in the following order:

 

 

Other solutions that have helped some users:

  • Reduce file size by splitting a project into multiple smaller projects.
  • Rename your cloud files after downloading a copy to your local computer: Will retain local changes but break links to other docs, try to relink the docs in this case. 
  • Clear temp files. You will lose latest changes to your doc and the doc will revert to the last saved version.
    • Quit all adobe related processes
    • Click start type 'run' or an equivalent in your os language
    • Enter %temp%
    • Delete all files in the local/temp folder that shows up
    • Click start type 'run' or an equivalent in your os language
    • Enter 'temp'
    • Delete all files in the temp folder that shows up
    • Reboot + relaunch cc and xd

 

Note: If you still face issues, please reach out to Harshika Verma with logs so that we can escalate the issue to the team for further investigation.

 

We will try our best to help.

 

Thanks,

At the top it says the question is "Assumed Answered". Is there a known fix for this issue? I still get the error 49.

I joined the group. I am having the same issue. Has anyone found a solution to this? Given the issue with the sync, it would have been nice if a linked asset could have been a local file.

Hello

I have also the same issue - today 14 July. It's a molecule file linked to an atomic file and itself linked to an organism file and template file.

The atomic file and the organism are also saved on the cloud and for the moment no issue. All files have been created the same day: 26 June.

The configuration is Mac OS 10.14.5 with Adobe xd 20.2.12.1, Creative Cloud Sync 4.3.0.292.

And I already this issue with another file and a previous version of XD. The update of XD doesn't change anything.

I also deleted the TMP file as suggested in another post but no change.

Kind regards.

Jon

I'm having the same error! Working in XD, 20.2.12.1 , Creative Cloud Sync 4.2.7.2 , Mac 10.14.4 . File size: 908 KB

"There was an error saving the file as "[filename]"

The file could not be saved. Please try saving again. (Error: 49)"

I'm working with an XD Cloud file, with components linked to other XD documents. I noticed that the other documents weren't updating the components (or even recognizing that an updated file/component was available), so I checked out my cloud document, and as soon as I made an edit and tried to save, I got this error.

What I've done so far:

  • Updated XD and Creative Cloud
  • Ran "Repair" on the Creative Cloud Desktop app
  • Renamed the XD cloud file (still gave the same error)
  • Saved as a new XD cloud file (still gave the same error)
  • Deleted artboards to reduce file size

Please let me know what the next step will be, or if this is a bug that will be addressed later.

I have the same issue today, Jul 5 2019. The upload stopped to work out of sudden, in the middle of the day. I sent the log using the log collection tool.

App is up to date, I restarted everything etc. Issue persists. Out of 3 cloud documents I have, 1 is failing. This one failing doc has components that are imported by the other 2 documents.

I hope this issue will be addressed soon.

Hello Harishka,

I'm having the same Error:49 issue:

I tried the troubleshooting steps with no success. I ran the log reporter and uploaded file: AdobeLogs_20190704_113412_202-mac.zip

Please help... up to now, XD has been behaving pretty flawlessly, but this is a real BLOCKER now!

Thanks in advance,

-Luis.

For others having this issue: the only thing that fixed it for me was creating a new Creative Cloud user and sharing the affected files with the new user. Once the new user accessed the files and synced correctly, the original user was also able to do so. Not sure what caused the problem in the first place.

just tried that today with no success - the old user can neither see the changes nor save them.

at least the new user works now. Unfortunately the new user doesn't have the paid subscription, so I still need to fix it for the old user

Hi,

I have the same problem as mentioned and have tried to solve it by deleting TMP files.

Kindly note that in the fact the autosaving is working and sharing option too. But when I need to save work right after changes to share it, the error occurs. Once I have lost all the made changes. It hinders my working process.

I see that the issue was raised on JUN 2. after that left 7 days and you did not provide the solution.

Please provide the respective solution/update asap.

Thanks in advance.

I have this error after trying to backup my Adobe XD file to my computer.

"An error occurred while saving the KOTscan-3-structure.xd file (error code: 49)"

If I want to register online, you receive the following message: "There was a problem saving as a new document online."

If I tried to change the name, I got this: "An error occurred while saving the file Copy of the KOTscan-3 --- .xd structure (Error code: 49) "

This is not my first time. I already had the problem with another file. All my files are saved on my computer. I do not use the Adobe cloud. I saw that the problem came when I have a lot of component or I create a new component.

My configuration :

Mac OS 10.14.5

Creative Cloud 4.8.2.476

Thanks for your help

Hi Harshika,

I am also experiencing the same problem of error code 49 and am unable to save.

I cannot try the process mentioned in your first link as that requires exiting XD which I can't do until I have saved my work. Please advise.

Thanks,
