Try the File locking Dropbox feature.
Can you explain the the File Locking system through the early access program so we won't have conflicting versions? We would like to know how this feature works and if it is right for us.
Thank You...
Thanks for joining Community Trinity2019.
I am so excited to talk about the "File locking" Early Access Business feature! :grinning:
You can now lock a file that is contained in a shared folder. This way you can prevent people from editing the file, even if you have given them edit rights on the folder.
Locked files have a lock icon on them but can be viewed by all collaborators of the folder.
Only the one that locked the file or the admin signed in as the user, will be able to edit this file until it is unlocked.
I think this is going to be very useful. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions!
Hi,
I have a computer at home and at work that both have dropbox installed, and I use the same login on both computers.
In this instance, how does file locking handle this if I lock a file from one PC and then use another with the same account?

Dropbox StaffHey Tristan_, thanks for joining the discussion here!
The file will be locked for that user's account rather than a specific device.
So locking the file from one device connected to your account won't prevent you from being able to open the same file on another device connected to that account.
I hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions!
