Title: Drop box changing content of shared files
Post by: Mdu on August 06, 2013, 06:44:49 AM

Hie
I am a windows 7 user . Recently i have noticed that whenever i share files or folders with my workmates or they share files and folders with me, Drop box renames those files and alters the content of the files. I would like drop box to retain original documents as they are and sync them correctly without changing the file name or altering the content of these files. How do i do that?

Are you sure it is not your workmates renaming and altering content ??

Oh no i doubt that very much, its just the drop box not keeping the original format

I use dropbox regularly and the only time files have been altered is when someone has altered them.

In your first post you say dropbox renames files and now you say it changes the format. Which is it?
