DB Sharing file - Why does it show up?

John Nez May 22, 2013 4:19 PM

I keep seeing these DB Sharing files that appear whenever I create a file in Indesign.

WHY do they show up and clog up my online folder? I assume they're for some program use, but why aren't they working behind the scenes? This only happens with CS6. I never had it happen with CS5.

I tried deleting one and it made my Indesign file fail to work. So I pulled it back out of the trash.

Any way to make them go away in preferences?

Thanks!

Well it's been more than 2 months and I keep seeing these DB sharing Shield files on my desktop that won't go away.

I ran a Google search and the only hit I got was my question. So I guess I'm the only person on planet earth with this problem.

Huh.... interesting.

Just out of curiosity, waht is the location listed in your prefs for the recovery folder?

That's probably it. I have the Desktop as the location. Anyhow, I'll just delete the files and that is not doubt what the cause is, since it's not uncommon for my Mac Pro to crash. I noticed after loading Spotify it seemed to crash more often... so I deleted that.

Thanks!

You could move the recovery folder location in the prefs to someplace that doesn't bother you so much.
