matlab file on disk might be empty

Well, I frequently get this error now, which makes it nearly impossible to improve my codes, because I always have to save the file under a new name. Is anyone familiar with this problem (current Windows 10, current Matlab R 2018.b)? I'm grateful for any hints that might solve this issue....
Thanks a lot!

Which file system do you have on the network disk? Do other computers access your files?
It might be easier to store the files locally and synchronize them, when you shut down Matlab or the computer.

I would suggest you contact your IT. There's clearly a synchronisation problem between your computer and the network drive. Note that it is not restricted to matlab, it's just that matlab is more sensitive to it.

There was a Windows 10 network filesystem issue that was triggered when automatic file synchronization was turned on; if I recall correctly it involved Windows Live. I am not sure when the problem was fixed.

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/354614-cd-to-onedrive-doesn-t-work-on-windows-10-build-16273-1#answer_280466 is the issue that I was thinking of.

Well that is not really an option since "working remote" is on the rise.
Also i can NOT ask the IT guys to finally get the network right (they habe been trying ;) ;) ).
But since we pay a lot of money for licenses and maybe the matlab dudes might want to FIX IT!!!

The problem doesn't seem to be limited to newer releases. I'm running R2015b and this problems started a year or more ago for me. Other users in my group have told me they have never experienced this issue. A while ago I did an install on a new computer and all was well for many months, but the problem is back. It does seem odd that I can find complaints about the issue going back to at least 2017 on the interwebs, but nobody seems to really have any idea how to fix it. Maybe it is a Matlab issue. I don't see our IT people spending too much time puzzling this out as it seems to be a very isolated problem (one person and one program).
