    Here's my best guess...I'm having the same issue and based off the other responses:

    It happens when you are working off a remote server, either GoogleDrive, BoxDrive, OneDrive, etc.

    These drives manifest as synched folders on our desktop, even if we appear to be working directly off the drive. As synching happens almost continuously now, and files get 'marked' by the particular remote drive, that very minor update to the file is what triggers this. It's as if you and a colleague were sharing a file through Creative cloud. The trigger is meant to warn you.
    Instead in the majority of cases it's an ongoing annoyance.
    Best guess.
