Automatically lock files when opening from Desktop app

[OMSUK-AlexDixon]

Re-posting barrondunn's previous idea after it was locked.

It makes sense for a multiple user system to have the option to automatically lock a file when they open it, and it automatically unlocks once they save and close.  The locking feature as is is fine, but people will never remember to unlock the file when they're done, especially if you're in and out of many files throughout the day.

A lesser but viable alternative would be to have the Dropbox badge for all file types, not just Office.

I agree. This would be very useful to avoid conflicts.

Hey @alexq72! If you like this idea, please make sure to vote for it too, as this increases the chances of the feature being implemented and other users seeing this, as well.

Excellent suggestion, which I strongly support.

I hope it will be implement soon. This a big lack in a team working-oriented system.
