This may actually be a problem with Dropbox–as much as I love and use Dropbox, it isn’t the best place to do your live work (backing up to Dropbox is good, of course). The problem is in how it determines which files are newer/updated vs the online stored ones, and what Scrivener thinks is the latest version of the many little files that make up a project.

This thread at [Seeing Dropbox right...](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/t/seeing-dropbox-right/12597/1) has much more information on it.

Hope this helps!
