Dropbox Synchronization

Randy

Hello!
Thanks for Editorial!

There is a little issue I am concerned with:

  • Dropbox Sync does not work properly: --> In about 50% of the cases I get a "Connection timed out error" typically followed by the problem, that an "Conflicting Copy" of the file is generated.
  • Version: Editorial 1.2.1 (120003), iOS 8.4.1

That happens sometimes when connection is poor (and sync takes too much time) because sync is taking place in real time. A workaround is to edit files locally when out of smooth internet connection.

Also there used to be a problem with filenames consisting of utf characters not syncing correctly and producing conflicting copies. A simple sollution was to use only ascii characters in filenames.
