    Hi Peter

    I recommend following up on the ticket if you still have questions - however, I believe your core issue with the White Space conflict may be something that would need to be investigated in the future as a new feature within Dropbox (rather than a bug).

crickets

 

The situation has gotten worse. this morning I found 25 GB of files and folders all labeled (White Space Conflict). pure trash. I deleted them all from my dropbox folder on my primary computer.

I did the same on my home computer...

I cleaned it out a few days ago. This floods my bandwidth at home and in the office, and it fills the folders.

If I can't get help I am going to have to quite using the sync tool on all of my computers.
