The file #DCHT_2020_v5.lyx# looks like some kind of lockfile or tracking file that Dropbox writes (maybe hidden), though that's only a guess. Hence, moving the file would remove that thing. It's possible that saving it didn't work because Dropbox thinks it's open on another machine.

I have three computers, each with a different OS (Linux, Windows and MacOS), and have only seen this problem in Windows and in this file. I created a folder within the folder of the original file, created a copy, modified it, resave it and the error again appears. I am going to switch to my MacOS computer to see if the error appears.

I can confirm that the #...# file is a lock placed by Dropbox to avoid collisions. That said, I've never gotten a message from Dropbox telling me it was deleting the lock file.
