Same findings based on what you said—move it out of a shared folder—problem disappears.

Dropbox StaffThis fails 100% of the time. The issue seems to be only with MS Office and only when you are modifying an exsiting file in Dropbox. I have even seen cases of where the file will have an updated modified date, but the internal contents were unchanged. Essentially, you have to rename the file every time you save it.

I'm had the same issue with saving Word docs to Dropbox on my iPad Pro. When I tried to save the document from Word and select the Dropbox destination, the error message states "Can't Upload - you entered a name that won't work. Please avoid characters such as \ / : * ? " < > |". I am not entering any of these symbols. The file would save but the word doc would be empty. I tried this 5 times with different names.
How I solved it was by taking out the capital "I" (i) in the file name - as it looks the same as the other symbol.
