Hi Si Hall! Thanks for your post.
Has this been happening for some time now, or is it a behavior you noticed recently after a specific update?

Hi Nancy,
I have exactly the same problem as Si Hall. It happens even with newly created files, certainly not in use by others. There are only very few files in my DropBox shared with other users fair away from the files in question and in an other folder.

Thanks for an answer!
