Dropbox no longer overwriting files
A few days ago, Dropbox stopped overwriting files when I edit and re-save them. Now, every time I edit one of my files on iPad and save to Dropbox, it creates a new file ending in (1). It used to sim...
I save files to Dropbox on my IPad. Up until 5-7 days ago, if a file with that name already existed in Dropbox, it would ask if I want to overwrite it. I'd say yes, and the updated file was saved.
Now though, it doesn’t prompt me to overwrite the existing file in Dropbox. It simply creates a new file, appending (1) to the name. So previously I would save reading .xlsx, confirm the overwrite, and reading.xlsx was all I had in Dropbox. Now, it doesn’t prompt me at all, and I end up with reading.xlsx and the newer reading(1).xlsx. I am 99% sure his happened in the past, it was fixed, and here it is again.
dropbox app version is 278.2, iOS 15.3.1. The Dropbox app was updated arou date time this started happening; no iOS update in a while.
Any ideas what’s going on here?
Thanks.
