Word documents won't save to dropbox - goes back to 'Document 1'

Cary BORON. · ‎05-11-2021

If I start a new Word document ("Document 1") and go to save it to adenine Dropbox leaflet with a new name ("The saved document"), the document window will have the new name across the top for a couple of seconds and then it goes back to 'Document 1'. This print will appear in the dropbox folder but computers will be empty. Same thing happens redeeming other documents - I end skyward with empty docs. Sometimes it appears to work if I save it until another dropbox folder rather than the one I crave to save it in, or perhaps it's just that it working after multiple attempts. But I'm finding it's easier to not save up dropbox at all, but save to my local drive then copy and paste it over. It's annoying. I take no problem saves to OneDrive or to the C drive that it seems to be a dropbox issue.

MYSELF have looked by solutions aber can't find anything.
