How to download an FMPro file without having a numerical suffix added to the filename?
Is there any way to download an FMPro file in Dropbox to my Filemaker Go app without having a numerical suffix added to the filename? I want to be able to view the latest version as it exists in Dropbox. I want the new version to overwrite the version currently in FM Go.

So, no, it doesn't add a suffix since it doesn't save the file at all.

So, you're not able to simply save the file as is into the iOS Files app in the 'On my iPhone' section, or the iCloud Drive section?
That is not the case. I cannot save the file into the Filemaker Go file system using the Files system. As far as I can tell, the Filemaker Go file system is not available in the File system.

Thanks for the info, if it isn't possible to save the file on your device to then open it in that app without it creating a suffix, then it would be best to contact the developers to see if they have any solution for this behavior.
I don't believe this is a Filemaker issue. Dropbox is the app that is saving the file with the suffix. I can duplicate the behavior in Pages.
