iOS app: "Convert all to classic integration"
I have noticed that Dropbox for iOS (v358.2) has a new action in the settings. Under `Native Files.app integration`, there is a button titled "Convert all to classic integration". But it is not docum...
Hi @zacw,
I just wanted to point out that actually the Modern implementation seems to be somewhat buggy.
When using it, other applications (such as Keepassium) do not automatically see that there’s a new version of a particular file in my Dropbox. I have to manually perform some steps (like refreshing the file via the Files popup with Dropbox integration).
However, when I switch back to the Classic integration, everything seems to work fine (meaning other apps can automatically detect when a particular file has been changed and use the new file version right away).
Please take a closer look at the integration, as this feature seems to be incorrectly implemented in the Modern option.

I, too, was trying to use the modern implementation with Keepassium and I could never get it to see my Dropbox sync. The .kdbx file was updated everywhere -- on my desktop, then synced with the cloud -- but when I went into Keepassium, it would "download" the .kdbx only when initially setting up. It never synced after that until I switched the setting from Modern to Classic. Now it works great. I've been trying to fix this for weeks. There is definitely an issue with the Modern API.
