Android Question DropBox: Files Appear to Download From DropBox, But Their Content Show Old Data

[Mahares]

I download 6 small text files from DropBox to a folder in FileDirRooExternal so they can be imported into a few SQLite tables on the device and overwrite existing files. File Manager on the device show the download date and time to be newer than the old files date and time. When I check the content of the files in the device, even though they show the latest download date, they do not show new data like the ones located in DropBox. They still show old data. Are the files being downloaded from cache instead of DropBox? If so, how can I delete this cache every time so I can import the new files that are sitting in DropBox?
Any help is very appreciated

@Erel:
1. Do you think that it is not a good idea to display the files and their sizes as they are being downloaded because the files shown are the cached files even though the most recent updated files are actually being downloaded. if there is no way to match the two, then I need to know so I simply forget about displaying the list on the screen and be content that the files on the device are the newest files.
2. With your genius makeup, do you think you can make the DropBox Sync Lib library more versatile, although I am happy with what it offers now..
Thank you

Currently the file is only forced to be updated when you download it (with AutoSync = true). You can post a feature request to add an option to force the files to be updated when you call ListFiles.
