 commentedSame problem. Just updated to 24.2.3 and then it started happening. Running Catalina which I think was a mistake to update to. Not using OneDrive. Seems like every week there is an Adobe update. Illustrator crashing way more than it ever has. Disappointed in Adobe.

 commentedAlso 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.

 commentedSolution 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...

      Chris Wells commented +1 from me for this problem. But it's a new problem I've never seen before. I've only just started seeing it after upgrading to a new Mac. My OS is completely up-to-date (Catalina 10.15.6 and I'm running the latest Illustrator CC 24.2.1. The only thing that has changed from my old system where I wasn't seeing this is that I'm using Google's GSuite Google File stream app. I used to use their Backup and Sync app but decided to switch during my upgrade because I was so tired of Backup & Sync crashing all the time. Judging by the fact that most people on this thread seem to be experiencing problems with OneDrive, I suspect there's something about the way the OS handles the sync with the file servers that's causing this problem.

 commentedJust like the title says. This is a really annoying problem. It happens every time when I save to Onedrive or when I use Illustrator files from the Google Drive File Stream. This is a long term problem for me and many others. Even tough people mark their problem as solved, it isn't.

 commentedI cant believe such a large company still has all these bugs, good god, error messages after error messages, files not being saved properly, countless errors and formats that cant be opened messages. What in the world am I paying for, I feel like I am rolling the dice with each saved document, totally disrupting my business. And on the forum all we get is some person saying to update, when of course that's what we all did and keeps posting the same thing avoiding any real answer, come on Adobe!

 commentedEchoing recent comments in hopes of pinging this to Adobe's attention. Using MacOS 10.15.4 and Illustrator 24.1.2. I get this dialog every time I try to save (not Save As). Mostly annoying, but still.

 commentedI am also using Illustrator 24.1.2 and MacOS 10.15.4, and still have this prompt appear when saving an Illustrator project. Not completed at all by Adobe.... I wonder if they read this topic anyway....

 commentedIt 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
