I don't think there is a way to do that, I have heard about people either switching to google &nbsp;apps or office 365 so multiple people can edit the same file at the same time. &nbsp;What kind of files are you getting conflicts with?

Hi,<br />
<br />
Can anyone offer me any solutions on how to get around the conflicted copies when using dropbox? I suggested to my workmates to create a folder called 'in use' so that if someone begins working on a file they drag it into there so other members know not to use it. <br />
This is a very basic solution and i am hoping someone has something a little more advanced to put in place.

Common methods of storage, transmission and dispersion include manual sharing utilizing removable media, centralized servers on computer networks, World Wide Web-based hyperlinked documents, distributed peer-to-peer networking (P2P) and cloud-based file syncing.
