    It restores an old file with the same name instead of the one deleted.

      Hey Bill80205! Can you send me a bit more info on this? 

       

      Was the deleted file saved on your desktop app perhaps? Is there any chance your updates hadn’t synced to your online Dropbox account, which is why you’re not seeing the correct version of the file being restored?

        👍 Yes it is still on my Windows laptops. I'm not sure how to sync my online account so it will be there on my Android phone??
