File re-set to previous date

I saved an excel file to dropbox, and on two occasions when I next open it, it has re set back 6 months losing lots of important information. should this happen? if so how can I stop it?

Hey Wingman684 - thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Can you just clarify if you're working on the file locally on a mobile device, your computer, or if you're doing this via the website directly?

 

What do you see in the file's version history and/or the events page? 

 

Let us know more and we'll take it from there.
