Inability to lock files that are “in progress”: our customer’s desire was not to change the file sequentially, but they found continual synchronisations to Dropbox meant that central file data was being corrupted at each sync cycle. Upon starting to move some major CAD design files into Dropbox, they came across these three issues: Their central file management system was on Dropbox which they were running for three years.
