    Hi from me as well, artengill!

     

    In general, previews may work better if the Dropbox mobile app has been installed, as it has the "ability” to preview the files correctly. 

     

    If your users use the mobile browser instead to access these sheets, the preview may differ depending on the device OS of each user and the web browser they’re accessing it from.

     

    I hope this clarifies things a bit.

Hey artengill, thanks for using Dropbox and posting on our Community!

 

Could you please send us a screenshot of how the preview looks like and also clarify if this happens when people are accessing the shared links that point to your files are logged into a Dropbox account or not?

 

This would help us assist further.

Hi Walter,

User clicks on a link in my wordpress blog and "Resultsheet" is shown.

The "Result" sheet screen is the first to display with the 3 sheet tabs at the very bottom left corner. User clicks on "Average" tab to display the averages.  The user does NOT require libreoffice or wordpress installed on their "phone". However without Dropbox installed only the first sheet (Result) is displayed. To display the other sheet tabs the user needs to install Dropbox on their phone. ONLY installed NOT registered or opened. This works on android, iphone and ipad.
