    Hi Hannah & Jay ,

     

    I hope you both are doing well. 

     

    I contacted Microsoft Community about the said problem. They also don't have any clue about this. 

     

    So, I took a leap of faith and deleted all the Microsoft Apps from my android device and re-installed them later.

    Surprisingly, it works and I am able to edit the files in my DropBox thru the android app. 🙌🏻😊

     

    I am sharing this here for the whole community. 

     

    Thanks & Regards,

    Haseeb

After some brief research, this appears to be an error related to connecting to Microsoft Intune. You can try uninstalling and reinstalling Excel to see if this helps.

      Sorry for jumping in here HaseebMIT.

      It looks like you might need to contact Microsoft directly, to see if there are any tips they can give you on their end.

      Do let us know what happens, though, it would be really helpful, in case someone else comes across this issue.

      Thanks!
