I get the following error when trying to synchronize. Any thoughts?

================================
Cannot rename "C:\Users\jeffj\Dropbox\sync.ffs_db.e5bc.ffs_tmp" to "sync.ffs_db".

ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. [MoveFileEx

Same for me, only on the local DropBox folder. Usually pressing "Retry" solve the problem!

Honestly I do not rembember which was the last combination of DB and FFS versions that were wrking...

Currently:
DB version: 241.4.4853
FFS: 14.7

Looks like the solution is quite easy, if done by FFS itself!
