Dropbox Community ModeratorHi there agrosko - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community!
Could you please clarify your device's OS version and the version of the Dropbox mobile app?
Also, do you get the same results if you do this via a web browser instead of doing it from within the app directly?
Have you tried connecting another 3rd party app to achieve what you had in mind?
As for the conflicted copies, you can take a look here, for starters, and if you still have more questions, just let us know.
Thanks!
Hi Walter,
Even from the web version on Safari it does not give me any option for an PDF app to open the files from there. I checked the other third party apps but there is again only Adobe in the list, which I do not want to use.
It’s an iPad Air with 18.1.1 OS the app version is 406.2
Thanks

Hi from me as well, agrosko! I believe connecting Xodo to your Dropbox account would be the way to go, like Walter suggested above.
Since this is a third-party app though, for which we can’t provide support, I’d suggest checking this with their technical support directly.
Otherwise, the solution would be to export your files from the Dropbox mobile app, edit them on your iPad with Xodo and then, re-upload them to Dropbox and overwrite the older version of the PDF.
