Versioned wont help if it's the first copy that got into dropbox.

If it's the first copy, it will just be read by Dropbox. There will not be 'write' from Dropbox that can corrupt it...

If it's the first copy going to Dropbox, then it is not Dropbox that wrote it and so not Dropbox that corrupted it by writing in a wrong way...
