Most of my saving is done from Photos, selecting the item and choosing Save to Dropbox. From there it normally would list all the latest folders (no thumbnail preview) and I then save. If thereâs an existing version, it prompts if I want to override it (this doesnât occur now, it just saves and adds a (x) if filename exists).
