Hi Vivek,

Sorry to hear about the trouble. Could you please try exporting to a different location on your local hard drive and let us know if that solves the issue or if you need any further assistance.

Regards

Facing the same issue but is it the ideal solution to change the directory whenever this issue pops up, Is there any permanent fix for this?? Thank you.

I'm hoping, they will fix this issue.

Hi there,

We're so sorry to hear about the trouble. This generally happens if you have already exported assets to the same directory, as on exporting the asset again the files with the same name exist there already, please try changing the name of the assets and then try exporting and let us know if that helps or if you need any further assistance.

Regards

Sorry @Deleted User , but that's what "overwrite" option, which I choose, is for. I want to overwrite the file, not save it in another location. There is a bug in the way Xd handles saved files which needs to be addressed.

Same, I usually use that for production and stream.

So basicaly : someone from Adobe answered - explaining the problem again but did not give us any solution for it, im not sure when there will be a fix for this bug.
