I have the same problem. When will this issue be fixed??? Every time I save, I get that popup. Using Illustrator 24.0.1 and there's no CC says I'm up to date.

It happens to me once my newly created document is backed up to the "cloud." Once it is backed up the warning message appears, each and every time.

I keep getting "this file was modified outside Illustrator" when it clearly was not.
Also, Illustrator app quits after saving an Illustrator file. Almost every time.
I have to keep re-opening Illustrator 24.0.2.

@Ashutosh Chaturvedi: not completed! See my previous post with reproduction steps and a possible root cause.

And another user with this issue: AI version 24.0.1 on latest Catalina.
The files are in a OneDrive folder that is constantly synced. This has something to do with it.
Just tested the following that switches the problem on and off:
1. saved a file that has the issue outside of the OneDrive folder: no problem with any follow up save.
2. Save as that same file within the OneDrive folder: problem comes back.Adobe should talk to Microsoft I guess…

This bug HAS NOT been fixed with the version 24.0.1 update. It is not as frequent but has reappeared and Illustrator has crashed on save immediately after the error appeared.
