Dropbox Android app not updating Word files
I posted this before, but can't find it.
Dropbox android app not showing changes to my files. When I open the file with the word app, the changes appear, but if, I dont, I'm reading old version...
- 2 years agoYes. And now I've also figured out that by closing the open Dropbox app in 'open apps' and then reopening dropbox, the updated file appears. Thx.

It's NOT sorted out. The files should show the updates without my having to close and reopen the app every time I make an edit. Sometimes I forget, and then I wind up reviewing an old version of the file.

Not to worry, @dluptonmd, I just sent you an email, so we can continue looking into this internally.
Just make sure to get back to me, when you can.
- dluptonmd2 years agoCollaborator | Level 9I just replied to the email. Hope you got it. Thx
- dluptonmd2 years agoCollaborator | Level 9I don't see any replies. Jake did not reply to my last email. Problem still exists. Please have Jake or someone review and follow up. It seems I am unable to open a new ticket per Jake's request because of my membership status. And forwarded email per his instructions will not apparently reply back to dropbox. Thx.

As the ticket is with a specialist team, you'd need to reply to their email directly for further assistance on this matter. They'll be able to respond via email with more information.
- dluptonmd2 years agoCollaborator | Level 9I did but got no response. Can someone prompt him or someone else there to respond. Or can you make a new referral to that section/team, and have them review the thread, and respond. The problem persists. This is a very frustrating issue since I use Dropbox 20 hours a week. Thx.
- dluptonmd2 years agoCollaborator | Level 9So far as I can see, there is no way to forward your mail sent to my Gmail to my Hotmail and then reply back all from Hotmail to the original Gmail from you and get that reply to successfully reach you. At least, you have not indicated you have received any replies. You need to reach out to me at my Hotmail address which you have through previous correspondence and which is also the email linked to my Dropbox app. Thx.
- dluptonmd2 years agoCollaborator | Level 9I see no reply from Jake as email 1.6.23 1am refers me to.
- dluptonmd2 years agoCollaborator | Level 9I don't have any emails with any threads. Once I forwarded Gmail to Hotmail and replied back to gmailper instructions, the email disappeared. Please have the agent email me again or respond here in this thread. Thx.
- dluptonmd2 years agoCollaborator | Level 9This is for Jake regarding his Jan 9 email. When I forward your email from Gmail to Hotmail and then reply back, it only goes back to my Gmail. There is no way I can see to reply back to you on the thread from my Hotmail address. There are no prompts, as you suggested. Please follow up.

Hi @dluptonmd, have you also responded, and communicated that to the email itself?
Keep in mind, that I don't have a direct line of communication with Jake, in order to inform him about that.
