Jim and Chris, we just purchased the Windows Surface Pro 2 computer today, which uses Win 8.1 OS.
After installing Dropbox App, discovered that all files are “READ ONLY” and cannot be modified/saved. This includes simple .txt files.
Google searches reveal this as a MAJOR complaint. The Surface Pro 2 App only accesses the Dropbox folder in the “cloud” server, just like our Android phones, but at least our Samsung Galaxy 3 phones allow us to update/modify Dropbox files as if we were on a Laptop.
There are no physical files on the Pro 2. Our Win 7 Laptop and Win 7 tablet contain a physical folder ..\Dropbox that syncs with the server across all our devices.
Question: Do you know of a solution that allows modifying existing Dropbox files using the Surface Pro 2 computer? If not, we are taking it back for a refund.
