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.

File A > "save as" > File B > "replace": This should work even if B is a cloud file
Hi!
I normally reassure our users that they can interact with Dropbox files "normally" without worrying too much about what's synced where (local or cloud), since Dropbox takes care of everythi...
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!

Dropbox StaffHi ppadmin, thanks for the ticket ID, we can see that this has been forwarded to a specialist team to look into further.
Jay Unfortunately after 2 weeks I haven't gotten anywhere with tech support. The case was passed off a couple of times to what I thought was higher tier support but I'm still just getting generic troubleshooting suggestions like disable anti-virus, check firewall, etc, etc. This is a specific issue that has nothing to do with any of that. It's easily reproducible but I'm getting the impression that no one on the case has bothered to try at this point. I included a screen capture video in the case notes showing exactly what happens. This really needs to be escalated to a team that can do actual troubleshooting and interface with the development team. Are you able to make that happen?
