We’re using UIDocumentPickerModeImport to import files from Dropbox. The version of the Dropbox app is 3.8.1.
The Google Drive app also offers an option to import files with the Document Picker, so you can use it to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Pick a file from Dropbox into the Google Drive app.
  2. Modify the file in Dropbox (ex. Windows client).
