    It saves multiple versions (every one that uploads), but, only if it uploads - and often it cannot if another file has it open. 

     

    You should see the files at www.dropbox.com/events as an upload AND then also at Version History

Thank you Rich.

I am on a high speed internet connection and as mentioned in my original post, version history provides a daily version of my file (last version modified that day) so Dropbox seems to sync fine. The conundrum is that contrarily to you, I am not provided with any other version that day, besides the last version saved. One file a day, no more and my file is not locked.

So, if you have any suggestion as to why you have multiple daily backups of your files and I only have one a day, I would welcome the solution.

Hi Sou, does you have the Dropbox desktop application constantly running and syncing throughout the day?

 

What type of files are you experiencing this with? If you create a text file and edit it once, give it a minute, then edit it again with new information, do you get three versions (the original, the first edit, then the second edit)?
