Native files.app integration is buggy, doesn’t sync
Steps:
1. Install Dropbox on iOS
2. The native files.app integration is enabled by default
3. Set a folder to be available offline in the Dropbox app
4. Wait for the folder to sync
5. On another device create a file in the folder
Expected:
The file is synced to the mobile Dropbox app and the native files.app
Actual:
The file does not sync to the native files.app. You need to manually go and refresh to make that file sync.
The problem this causes is when third party apps (like iawriter) try to use files synced by Dropbox, new files are missing. When edits are made to files that show up they always cause conflicts.
