Message constant flashing filename.md "has been modified externally, merging changes automatically."

I am just typing in any folder

What I’m trying to do

I keep getting the message: “has been modified externally, merging changes automatically.”

Things I have tried

I searched the form but only found old notes not relevant to my current situation. The Volt is not on a cloud drive.

Another application might be modifying the file in the background. You could try restarting your computer and then opening only Obsidian to see if the problem persists.

Are you syncing with Dropbox or another method?
