Only one tab displaying in spreadsheets stored on Dropbox
This morning when we open our spreadsheets on dropbox only one tab is being displayed and we can't access the other tabs on the sheet , if we download the file and open it all tabs are displayed. They spreadsheets are saved as xlsx files on Dropbox.
Any idea's why this has suddenly happened ? All were fine yesterday
Hi everybody,
Our team has made some changes, so please let us know if you're still having issues.
To clarify: there is no data corruption (i.e., we are not treating the sheets as a range within a single file). This behavior seems to be our Google editor deprecation banner "hiding the sheets tab," and we'll be adjusting this soon.
Thank you for your feedback!

I am having the same issue. It began once the Starting March 1, 2024 message appeared. My only workaround is to use the search tool for a term I used in one of the hidden tabs. The search tool will jump me into the tab I need, but this is not sustainable.
@Dropbox, remove the March 1 message and see if that resolves the issue

Hi Craoibhin
The issue doesn't seem to be resolved but there is a work around, if you click
the down arrow in the upper left hand corner where it says A1 (or it was say whatever cell you are currently in) and then selecting from the list. It seems to be treating the sheets as "ranges" within one file rather than separate pages.

Thanks Mairead,
For some reason, long after I did a number of thinks as directed , out of nowhere about 15 min ago it started working normally. Doesn't really seem to be connected to anything I did either as it was about an hour after I had made the changes.

This work around does not work for me.

Hannah & Dropbox Team,
Has a solution been identified for this issue regarding the missing tabs? Our organization can only use Chrome, so other browsers are not an option.
Also, how can I remove or close out the March 1, 2024 message?
Thank you for your guidance.

Though clicking on A1 in the left corner is a workaround to navigate to existing tabs, it doesn't solve the problem long term. The tabs at the bottom popped up this morning for a second and then disappeared again. DROPBOX - do you have a resolution yet?
