I work on Mac and when my Excel is open on my Mac I have all the colors. 

Once I upload it still from my Mac to Dropbox, the file is then on Dropbox but without colors...

Always using Dropbox from my Mac.

 

Thanks for your help

Thanks for the update, Camille!

 

So, to upload the file to your Dropbox, are you simply moving it to your local Dropbox folder?

 

Or are you using a browser?

 

If you preview the file on dropbox.com, do you see the colors?

      Hey @Dillagos, welcome to our Community! 

       

      When did this start happening on your end? 

       

      Would you mind sending over some screenshots in order for me to have a visual too? 

       

      Thanks a bunch!
