Hi Snowdog63 - thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Just to make sure we're on the same page, can you let me know when you first noticed this happen? Is it only affecting large files or smaller ones as well? 

How exactly are you working on those files and are you giving enough time to the Dropbox desktop app to sync your changes? 

I know you must have already done some basic troubleshooting, but does rebooting your computer and internet router help improve matters at all?

Let us know more and we'll take it from there.
