If you find that the issue persists, please send us a screenshot of the exact error you're getting so that we can have a visual too.
I did a screen video of the problem, but due to privacy concerns, I don’t want to post it here. Let me know how to get it to you. I can’t open from Dropbox into Excel. I can’t open from Excel navigating to the Dropbox file. I CAN open when, from Excel, I open the File program and go to cloud locations and choose the file there.

I’ve tried uninstalling both apps and reinstalling fresh and signing in.
