Dropbox Badge Doesn't show alert if someone viewing/editing file

Thanks for the clarification.

The badge actually should show you if someone else is editing the same file, only if it's a different collaborator on the file; it won't show the same account.

And yes indeed, the Dropbox Badge is available to all our plans.

I hope this clarifies things!

What exactly do you mean by a "different collaborator"? 

Hi drb01, if the file is in a shared folder, then the Badge will only activate if another separate Dropbox account accesses and edits the same file.

Using the same Dropbox account on different PCs will not activate the Badge. Just for clarification, are you allowing other users to access your Dropbox account and credentials via another PC?

Yes I have multiple PCs and Android devices accessing the same Dropbox account with the same login. I thought that was the whole point of Dropbox!! So I am very surprised this badge thing doesn't work in that scenario. Is there a better way for multiple devices to access all the files in one Dropbox account?

Hi drb01, you can always use Paper, if this is something that would fit your needs.

Other than that, I'll let the thread open, so that other users can also share their thoughts, and workarounds in regards to this. 

If you need anything else, let us know!
