I have LyX 2.3.4.4, on windows 10, and have problems saving files in dropbox folder. I used to have that problem a few versions before, but it seemed to have gone when updating to newer versions of LyX.
Last week, installing everything on a new laptop, the problem appeared again: when I save now, I always get this message:
When I click "OK", I get this window:
When I click "Retry", it DOES get saved, though....
Any idea's?

LyX Windows 10 and dropbox
Hey Stef, I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble saving files in Dropbox with LyX on Windows 10. I've had a similar issue before and what worked for me was to make sure that the Dropbox desktop app was up to date and that I had the latest version of LyX installed.
Another thing you could try is to right-click on the Dropbox icon in the system tray and select "Pause syncing", then save your file in LyX and wait for it to finish syncing before resuming syncing in Dropbox.
If none of these solutions work, you could try contacting the LyX support team or Dropbox support team for further assistance. Good luck, and I hope this helps! By the way, I'm new to this forum and recently switched back to Windows myself. I found some helpful tips on the windows 10 reddit key sub as well.
