Dropbox/keynote/pages integration

Hi.  So I know this may very well be a problem on my end, but I can’t seem to solve it so I thought I’d try here.  I’m using a new iPad pro, and I’m having trouble using it with pages and Keynote.  I...

    Hey 
    Cleverbean, 
     
     
     
    Thanks for posting on the Forum on the issue you’ve experienced, let’s work on that together!
     
    • Initially, assuming that you’re running the latest version of the Dropbox application on your phone (82.2), can you also ensure you’ve installed all OS updates? Also, ensuring that you’re running the latest version of Pages/Keynote, where you’re editing your files on your phone is also advisable. 
    • Secondly, are you getting any error messages? Any detail you could include would be extremely helpful, as well as any screenshots, so that I make sure we’re on the same page. 
    • Last but not least, as you might be getting the duplicate files due to a connectivity issue (eg. have you noticed any latency in your network by any chance?), have you tried repeating while connected on your data provider? 
     
    Thanks again & once I have this info, I’ll do my best to analyze & troubleshoot with you here!

Hey Leandro (Leandroalpi) & Henning (HenningMikkels), I’d happily continue from where you’ve left off with my colleagues & apologies for the slight delay in replying! 
 
Let’s confirm a couple of things, so as to make sure I’m following-up on the right thing: 
 
  • Are you both getting the An unknown error occurred  error message the OP has mentioned?
  • Have you checked back if there’s anyone else working at the document at the same time? 
  • Leandroalpi as you’ve mentioned that you’re also experiencing this behavior on an iPad as Cleverbean, can you let me know whether everything has been Up-to-Date- i.e. your OS & you’ve installed the latest Dropbox version? That would be a great starting point.
  • Now, HenningMikkels, since you may be experiencing a slightly different issue, would you mind letting me know here of the exact steps you’re following, so as to try & re-create the behavior on my end? 
Thanks in advance for your cooperation & I’ll be awaiting your next messages on this discussion, in order to follow-up with you more closely!

Hi，I'm having exactly the same problem using Dropbox and export the file in keynote, I will received notifications saying “the file is deleted in another location” and there will be many auto-saved copies in my Dropbox folder. How can I solve this problem? Thank you!
