Description
When I select a file in my OwnCloud folder via the standard Android file dialog in an Android app (not the OwnCloud app), often the selected file is not synchronized/up-to-date.
I can fix the problem by opening the OwnCloud app and downloading the desired file. After that, I get the synchronized file by using the standard Android file dialog in other Android apps.
Steps to reproduce
- Download a file within the ownCloud Android App
- Modify the file within other clients
- Open an editor and open the file using the DocumentsProvider
- Downloaded version is opened (but not the latest one)
- After saving it, a new conflict notification appears

Research direction
Start by reproducing the five steps through the Android DocumentsProvider, comparing the file selected by an external app with the version available in the ownCloud app. Trace the provider's download and synchronization path; done means external file selection returns the latest remote version and saving it does not create a false conflict.
