Can we have an option to lock files we're working on to avoid conflicted copies?
My business partner and I (often working from different locations) are constantly working on the same documents and trying to save our work at the same time. Result: lots of conflicted copies of file...
It would be nice if I had the option to make a file read only for other users while I was editing it. An alternative, but definitely second choice, is that a notice could be given to anyone who opens the file that notifies them the file is being edited by someone else.
I have the badge and it shows "Edited by X user Y mins ago." Doesn't tell me if he's still in the file making other changes or not. I went into a file and it didn't say anything or show anyone in the file. I started making changes just to get a message that X user saved changes and do I want the new version. Yes, it saved my changes to another file but now I have to wait, go in, and combine the files at some point. It would have been MUCH easier if it had just told me "X user is in this file and you have read only access until he's done." I could have worked on something else while he was in the file and made my changes once instead of twice.
