Problem: Refreshing a folder on Android does not seem to refresh the folder view

Hi!

 

1. I edit a small .txt file on Desktop, increasing the file size e.g. to 10 bytes.

2. I see my txt file synchronized OK.

3. I see my txt file is now shown as 10 bytes on the dropbox.com website.

4. Using the Android Dropbox app, when I pull down from the top of the screen, a refresh animation appears.  But, the file is not updated with the new size.  It still shows the old size.

 

(I have also sent this as in-app feedback)

Hey @sourcejedi, the behavior that you mentioned earlier, does this happen with all of your files, or just some of them? 

 

Also, do you think you can pinpoint when this started happening?

"I installed Dropbox on Android [on Monday]. I've never used it on Android before."

 

I don't edit any of my Dropbox files except for 1) test TXT files that I created for this purpose 2) the KeePass / KDBX password file.  (The rest are all old files, that I won't touch).  Let me know if there is a different test that will help debug this problem.
