This file has been modified outside illustrator
After updating to Illustrator 24.0, sometimes when saving a file, I get a popup that says 'this file has been modified outside illustrator. do you want to continue?'

Yes, this still seems to be an issue for folders that are backed up to a web service (Google File Stream here.) I don't see it for files that are saved elsewhere.

Also happening on MacBook Pro 2019. Illustrator 24.2.3. Catalina 10.15.6. OneDrive. Agree with Anonymous of May 6 - should at least have an option to option decide if you want Illustrator to ask you about it or not. Come on Adobe, please sort this out.

Solution on my Mac-System: I was working on the file which was on Google Clouds Stream. Now i saved the .ai on my local drive. Now, when I'm saving the file I don't get this notification anymore...

It still happens in version 24.1 (Mac)
It's really frustrating and annoying. It should be an option decide if you want illustrator to ask you about it or not -

Ok, so while I'm not getting the pop-up anymore, Illustrator becomes so busy whenever I work on a file with links that it freezes my ENTIRE system. I'm on Mac Mojave 10.14.6. I have to hard reboot the computer whenever this happens, which is often.

Same here. My file is on OneDrive on Mac. Although I haven't tested it, I suspect Dropbox-resident files would be the same, since I think all of these cloud apps are editing files to change the state of the sync icon for Finder/Explorer.

Yep, it's back for me as well (macOS 10.14.6, AI v24.1), started 1-2 days ago and now happens more than half the time I save. Note that I'm saving to a Google File Stream volume, if that makes a difference.
