In general, note that if you are sharing the data between devices you must NOT run the application on more than one computer at a time as this will generate file conflicts and other problems. Thus, the pattern needs to be:
1. Let files sync
2. Start application
3. Save files
4. Quit application
5. Repeat on different computers.
One workaround that can be used to prevent conflicted copies is to move the file out of the Dropbox folder while editing it. Doing this causes the file to appear as deleted and doesn't allow other users to edit the file. Once you're done editing, you can move the file back into its original location in the Dropbox folder. It will reappear with your edits for all users who have access to that file.
