I want to stop multiple people opening and editing the same file.
Once a file is open - it cannot be opened by another user until the inital user has closed it.
How can I do this?
Thanks.

If you are using Microsoft Office, Dropbox has a built in "badge" integrated with Office that notifies if multiple people are trying to edit the same file concurrently. For other files though, Dropbox does not support this. However, if a conflict occurs, Dropbox will create a "Conflicted Copy" instead of overwriting one of the versions.

Thanks Nate, I had noticed the badge would pop up every now and again - but sometimes it doenst show up when others are in the file.
Keeping the file locked while another user was in it would be a nice feature.
