Good morning,

So yes the issues is indeed having me trying to save scripts from anaconda environment containing Python 3.6.4 into a Box drive. It will also not save in a new folder within Box drive. I can however save files to my Desktop.

When I switch my environment back to base anaconda (with Python 3.8) the script will save normally and it will save into other Box directories and also Desktop.

Thanks for the info @kdl0013https://github.com/kdl0013! Any new info in order to reproduce this is greatly appreciated.

@dalthvizhttps://github.com/dalthviz, do you think we could fix this somehow in our side?

@ccordoba12https://github.com/ccordoba12 maybe we could try to capture the error but I’m unsure if there are other alternatives. Also, I think that validation is done to prevent an error when writing the file.
