Sync from Zoho to Dropbox and Dropbox to Zoho

Sync from Zoho to Dropbox and Dropbox to Zoho

Hi everyone,

First of all congratulations for the dropbox integration. It is almost perfect !!

I have a question about the sync from and to Zoho/Dropbox regarding 2 major aspects :
1) Time needed to sync in one direction or another
Note: I am using dropbox desktop integration as well to sync directly my dropbox account to a dedicated dropbox folder on my hard drive.
I noticed that when updating a zoho docs (in this case sheet) document, dropbox sync it almost immediately after closing the zoho docs document. I see imediately the dropbox icon in the taskbar starting to update -> GREAT
However, the opposite action i.e. when modifying a file locally from my dropbox folder, the sync to drop box happens immediately, but the sync to Zoho seems to take quite few minutes.
Is it normal ?
The reason I ask is mainly linked to my 2nd point...

2) Revision conflict handling
Assuming one person is updating a zoho docs document on one hand, but the same document is also being updated locally in a dropbox folder (test which I have been doing...), it seems the first sync become the final revision. In this case, the document updated on zoho docs gets sync faster and therefore the local document udpated in the dropbox folder is just discarded.
This means that it is impossible to do proper collaborative works using both Zoho and Dropbox in parallel as revision control are not handled properly.
Is there a workaround to this or for now the only way is to keep updating directly in Zoho ?


Thanks,
Chris
