Hi Megan
Thanks for getting back to me. The file name changes when on the iPad, it happens on iPhones as well. I can tell you that it appears to happen when we are sending a copy. In Acrobat, when we send a copy, choose email, the file attached and name in the email subject heading are different.
The original file stays in the open folder. It saves the (conflict name) file in the complete folder. I just found out that the file name in the open folder changes to the wrong name, but if you go out and come back in, the file name is correct.
As far as I know, this does not happen when we open files on computers but we never send files from computers because there is no way to flatten them (to make them uneditable). I hope this helps.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey todt, sorry to jump in here.
Generally, when the word "conflict" is appended to a file name, it means that the file is being edited by two devices at the same time.
You can see more info about the conflicted copies here.
However, it's strange that the entire file name changes. Do you see anything related to this in your events page?
