You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Hi Peter
I recommend following up on the ticket if you still have questions - however, I believe your core issue with the White Space conflict may be something that would need to be investigated in the future as a new feature within Dropbox (rather than a bug).

What's a white space conflict?
If two files with almost the exact same name exist in the same folder of your Dropbox, but the only difference is an extra space in the name of the file, a white space conflict will occur. Dropbox would rather be extra careful about saving your file if the file name is not identical in any way, so it will create a copy of the file rather than replace the existing file. The most recently changed copy will be appended with "white space conflict".
To reconcile the conflict, either rename the conflicted file to something unique, or make sure you avoid renaming the file with an extra space or character the next time you save the file.

not very helpful. We should be able to use any file name we choose. period. your software "thinks" there is an error, but there is None. Just save the file with the Same Name...
file names are often generated by the User Software. It Works. Dropbox is the problem.
