Hello,
I am using the Windows Excel standalone .exe.
Everything is up to date.
I can open the file on the iPhone with the iOS Excel app.
Now, I have tested in a different way -- if I CHANGE from one password to another, it fails in Dropbox. However, if I REMOVE the password, Save, and then ADD the new password, it works. So, something weird is happening on the change of password.
Hope that helps.

3 days agoHey eas9898!
Based on the info you've provided and some research that I did on my end, it seems this isn't something caused directly from Dropbox.
More specifically it seems this is a common issue for iOS products. You can see more about this here.
Unfortunately I'm not sure what could be causing this, but I think it's great that you've located a workaround.
In any case if you need something else, please let me know and I will be more than happy to help every step of the way.
