This is a serious issue that takes up wayyy too much time to fix. I understand the reason for a the conflicted copy feature but it doesn't mean you should make it work as it does.
How about if you could right click on a file and access a conflicted copy. Once a file has been updated you can remove all conflicted copies then just have one file. That way there is still only ONE copy there and you would still have the 'safety' of the conflicted copy from dropbox's point of view.... BUT it won't take up the space in our accounts and won't cause all the coding issues that we are facing (these are the SAME files right?!).
