Hi Walter,
I'm running Dropbox 145.4.4921 and I have "Your files are up to date."
I don't see my initial attempted edit to File B on the events page. But, in Finder on Mac, the timestamp on File B updated when I tried to overwrite it. It's just that the file stayed in the cloud, and the file size remained "0," so the actual edits were lost.
Later on, in consultation with Dropbox support, I manually local-synced File B, and then again attempted to overwrite it by editing File A in Photoshop and using "save as . . ." That worked, and that appears on the Events page. It just seems like an odd first step to have to take.
Thank you!
Karen
