Dropbox Offline files not updating on mobile, when the device is back online.

I modify a file that is available offline on my Samsung tablet using my app.  The offline file not updating when the device is back online.  If I manually go into the Dropbox app and open the file then save it, it will update to the cloud.  Is there something I can do to ensure it updates to the cloud after my app changes the file?

Thank you

Brad

    On mobile devices you need to manually reupload or open via Dropbox. There is no option/setting or way to do so otherwise - Dropbox simply doesn't know its been edited otherwise.
