I'm getting conflicted copies when using Pages on my iPad with Dropbox files.

Hi there. Whenever I use Pages on my iPad for word processing and the file it’s using is sourced from Dropbox I’m getting multiple conflicted copies generated. It feels like 1 every 5 minutes or whenever the program auto-saves  so 30 minutes of writing will generate multiple conflicted copies in my Dropbox folder. Anyone have any solutions or workarounds to this?

 

Thanks

Hi @Si Hall! Thanks for your post. 
 
Has this been happening for some time now, or is it a behavior you noticed recently after a specific update?
 
Have you tried clearing the Dropbox app’s cache and reinstalling it? 
 
Keep me posted.
