Microsoft Office unspecified Error
I purchased a new computer and downloaded Dropbox. I can open JPG and PDF but can not open Microsoft office files like excel or word. I receive a unspecified error. If I go to smart lync and download...
- Issue seems solved, it’s been a couple weeks and things are running just fine. Uninstalling ad re-installing of MS Office takes literally under 3m.
Good Day,
I'm having the same issue as described in this thread. Was there a solution? I also have multiple computers that do not have the issue, but one that does.
Thanks.
Nothing. We are probably leaving for Onedrive shortly. Amazing how they cant find a solution and thousands of people are having this issue.
JK1736 I just re-installed Office from the 0365 Portal, as had been suggested on another thread about this issue and it worked. At least for now. I had done the online repair option in the settings menu under settings-apps & Features-MSOffice and Modify and it worked for a few minutes, then reverted back to not opening files unless they are local to the machine. I'll let you know if this holds up for the next little while.
Thank would be excellent. Please let me know.

Thanks for that. A de-install of office and re-install seems to have worked.
Would be helpful if Dropbox could put this as a FAQ as it seems a lot of people have the same problem.
- Yup I did the same
