Issue when renaming files in Windows, since it takes over the name

[5rosedale50]

Hi. We love Dropbox but there is one issue that I can't seem to rectify.

scenario:  I create a new file and click 'save-as', then I open a folder in which to save it. The destination folder has other files in it.  If I'm not doing lightning speed the new file takes the name of a file that I've cruised over.

At first, I thought that this was a 'Windows' problem in their settings but after a ton of checking, I found that it was only happening in my and my wife's Dropbox folder.  I hate this feature SOOO much...(my wife doesn't love it even worse...LOL). Is there any way at all that I can turn this off? I couldn't find the toggle anywhere. I guarantee that absolutely no one wants this feature. I can't imagine why anybody would have use for this. You should maybe put a toggle in the user 'settings'. 

Please help us with this.  There are probably others complaining about this. So just add us to the pile...LOL

Thanks so much 

Have a GREAT DAY

Jim

Hi. If I'm wrong and there is no actual toggle to remove the above issue, please talk to your IT specialist. This is derived from a single line of code which should be like ( .class name: hover). If your specialist just 'comments' this line out it will only affect what is scheduled under the 'class name' in the HTML file. 

Simple 5-minute solution...problem solved.

If you don't like it or think your specialist has done this in error, it can be easily commented back in with no repercussions. 

Thanks

Hi @5rosedale50, how are you today?

Is this behavior that you noticed when saving files, only apparent within your Dropbox folder?

Do you think you could send me a couple of screenshots, in order for me to have a visual of this too? 

Keep me posted!
