![]() To me, this makes it look like an issue with Dropbox not detecting when a file has been updated by a 3rd party app that's not Microsoft. After force-closing, re-opening, and getting the sync, the text file retained the changes from multiple editors. One interesting note is that if I edited the file sequentially in several, the changes I'd made in the prior text editor were still in the file, so whatever local cached copy of the file Dropbox presents is actually being updated, it's just not triggering a sync event. txt files, I tried multiple 3rd party editors, all with the same results as the OP. I have uninstalled and re-installed Dropbox on my Android. I also tested using Word for Android, and that also instantly syncs a changed docx file when I click save. However, if I edit the exact same text file using the built-in Dropbox text editor on Android, as soon as I click the save icon, I hear the notification ding on my Windows 10 box. Likewise, if I edit a keepass database saved in Dropbox, it is not synced until I force close dropbox on my Android, and re-open it. If I force close drop box, as soon as I re-open the app, the updated text file is immediately synced (I have Dropbox notifications in Windows 10-very handy for diagnosing this). If I create a text file on dropbox, and edit it with a 3rd party Android text editor, I see the same symptoms as the OP: file remains unmodified in dropbox.
