Thanks for updating the thread with what seems to work for you dimalique!

For all the others in this thread, if you're still having issues with this, I'd suggest opening up a ticket so our Support team can assist further with account and device specific information. 

In the meantime, you can try pausing sync and resuming it after you're done with your edits while working on 3rd party apps.
