An Excel file I share with a Business team is creating conflicted copies
Hi
I am currently working on a project for an organisation with an excel file. The excel file is contained in their Dropbox and which I 'share' and have edit rights. This is where I am confused and...
Thanks Mark for your help!
If I was able use Dropbox on my desktop that would be great (and may solve a problem) but I use it on the desktop for another organisation. I assume its still a case on not having more than one available on desktop? I use the other orgs files daily so its not a possibility of dumping theirs.
Pity there isn't a way of switching between the two.
Thank you!
Hi Mark
Sooo the problem may be that I work in Excel for the Web and the others open with Excel?

Super User IIYes.
Or the other common issue is that people dont open via Excel on a computer from Dropbox directly on their computer but rather download it, open it, edit and upload it
I thought that would have been part of the problem. I am not accessing the file through the 'business' account (can't), I have to do it via my own 'personal' account where they are given 'sharing' rights. I may have to talk to them about either giving me access to their account or if i do anything to the file download and then get a business member to upload it. Am i on the right path?

If you dont want sharing conflicts you all need to be in same shared folder with same read write access.
