Automatic file lock/unlock idea was closed

Really disappointed for closing the ideas about this topic.
When working in group, imho this is a fundamental feature to ensure collision-free contributions.
How do you plan to address this issue ?
Other products have this feature.

    If its closed there will have been a reason given for it being closed - either its not happening, and so thats the addressing it (i.e. its not going to be), or its saying use Dropbox Badge or as a Business user use the new co-authoring within Office.

    That being said, we appreciate your feedback and if you need anything else, let us know!
