Wrong file version opens
I have an Excel file in my dropbox folder that I reference on a daily basis from my work Windows desktop, my home Mac desktop, and my iPhone.
I have been updating this file daily for the last few ...

Dropbox StaffHey there sporwancher,
From what you mentioned it sounds like you might be updating this file from the Dropbox folder locally on your computer, is that right?
If so, can you let me know the current sync status and version of the desktop app that you have installed? It may be that the desktop app isn't running on your computer or there may be an error in syncing that file.
Let me know what you find - Thanks!
Hi, Daphne. Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am updating from the Dropbox folder.
Current Sync Status: Up to Date
Version: 78.4.119

Thanks for that info sporwancher!
Can you just clarify for me then where you are opening the file and seeing the outdated version? Is this via the website or another device, and which version do you see when accessing the file in both of these locations?
Is the most recent version of the file on your desktop saved within your Dropbox folder or was it perhaps saved to a different location when editing it?
Looking forward to your reply!
I was saving and opening the file into the Dropbox folder on my desktop. This is the way I have been using Dropbox between multiple devices for many years now, on a nearly daily basis. I have never had this happen.
However, I am just going to stop troubleshooting this. I was able to restore the version prior to the latest version, and I know what changes I made since then. So, I was able to get it back to where I needed it.
Thank you for your help with this, whatever it was!
