Hey drb01, regarding the Dropbox Badge not showing who is editing a file, when the file is open on a different computer, can you confirm that you opened the file while logged in to a different account than your own?

 

As for the document privacy settings, you should be able to find more info here.

I am using two separate PCs on the same WiFi network, Obviously they are both signed into the same Dropbox account so they can access the same files. The windows logins are different FWIW. Regarding privacy settings, all the collaboration stuff is turned on so no problems there.

 

Does this functionality only work with all Dropbox plans?
