Hello again,
Thanks for your interest.
I found the '''bug'''.
Indeed the file was a ods file and the modifying person messed up with pages, and names.
Sorry for wasting your time.

If you right click one of the files with a green icon, and then click 'View on Dropbox.com', does it bring up the correct updated version of the file on the site?

Greetings,
It looks like I am having the same issue. One of my computer's(desktop) folders is not syncing to the website, whereas the other computer's (laptop) same folder is syncing ok. These folders were recently deleted due to confusion and then restored(successfully), so I don't know if that is part of the reason for this problem. Please let me know how I can solve this issue. Thank you.
