.fla losing content

[tiagosaad]

Hello, everybody.

I've been having an issue and I wonder if anyone else is going thru the same.

I work with my .fla files in my Animate 21 up to 6PM, save constantly (every 5 minutes) but very often my .fla simply dismisses my last 2 hours of work.
I use dropbox and I check the history of the file - it seems I stop saving at 4PM.
I've made some tests and I believe that's not a dropbox issue - but i'm not that sure, I'm gonna test it again - and very often Animate has trouble shutting down and even poping the crash screen. 
People that work with me algo have been thru the same.
I really hope you guys can help.
Thanks a lot!

Another information:
My "recover" file also has a history at dropbox - and i do can find the last recover file from 6 PM, but it DOES NOT HAVE the work i've been doing since 4PM... that's a reason i believe it might be an Animate issue.

This is very likely a Dropbox issue if you are working from a cloud-based drive. Does this happen if you download the FLA locally and work/save to your local drive?

Thanks for your response, _keyframer.
I work using a sync system: the file is in a dropbox folder inside my computer, so it uploads to the cloud as i work.
I'm trying to work from another folder now to see if it still goes on.

Thank you.

That's what I figured. I work for a company that uses DB also but I always work inside a non-synced folder locally and then drag and drop to DB when finished.
