Subject: Spam for me as well, as well as conflicts.

I also use my own personal cloud (my own computers over the internet) to sync my files between my various VMs and PCs.
This is causing endless sync popups and spam as well as occasional conflicts.
1) Don't do it. Really, why do you need to know if the file is writable... especially using such a heavy-handed method? Just write to it when needed and fail at that time...
2) Rather use other checks? Or keep the content the same at least? Open, Change, Save, Read+Confirm, Revert, Close. This will prevent this kind of spam and still cause the file to change to verify the write.
This problem will happen more and more often in today's cloud-focused world. It's only becoming more and more of a bug.
