For the past few weeks, I've had a problem where my work computer is spontaneously saving literally thousands of identical "conflicted copy" files to my Dropbox. This is happening with Word and Powerpoint documents even after the computer has been restarted and neither program is open. Watching the Dropbox folder, I can watch new conflicted copies being actively saved to my Dropbox although the files are not open on my computer or anywhere else. I've tried to move the unaffected files to new folders and to delete the problematic folder/files without success. Help!!!
