Phones dont work like the web etc.
If they upload on a mobile device they will almost certainly need to reupload it back to Dropbox after the edit (exception to this is SOME Microsoft Office 365 applications will write back to Dropbox, but, its a bit hit and miss). It is obvious if it does this though
Hi Walter! It's a team dropbox, but it's an individual excel file that I shared with people outside the team. Some people are able to edit it just fine but others seem to be having issues. They are editing the file via the Dropbox app on their phone and I'm not able to see when they edit on the event page. I think they saved a local copy but when I tried to edit outside of the team on my phone, it also seemed that I had to export or save to my phone or the dropbox app. These all seemed to just save a copy and not edit the original file.
