Count your blessings. The problem still exists on Dropbox for iPad.

2. Update file in Numbers, export to Dropbox.
3. Log into Dropbox, and instead of prompting for an overwrite, Dropbox adds it as reading(1).xlsx.

5. Delete reading.xlsx.
6. Rename reading(1).xlsx to reading.xlsx.
7. Download new reading.xlsx to iPad for offline availability.
yes, that’s exactly the problem we still all have… both on ipad and iphone up to date
