Yes always updated as normal. I always just "copy and paste" the files i want updated. Like I said , this has worked fine for the last 10 years to both my tablets. It would be solved if there was a message to say e.g "700 files synced at 19:25" or "Sync in progress"

Hi Dave81, do you see the old version of the file in the Dropbox mobile app, or the Office app?
Generally, for Office documents, there is a cached copy in the Office app itself, and that might not get updated with the latest copy from Dropbox, which could be why you're seeing an older version of the file.

Any new file version I make , done on the PC, is manually uploaded to Dropbox so is obviously updated fine. Its on the tablet where I do not know if the file has synced or not as it displays the green tick even when I know that it is not in sync. is it not possible to have some way of informing that all "available off line" files were synced at whatever time ?
