Hi Dodecahendrane,

 

Could you try the following to see if this solves the problem?

 

1. Go to https://www.dropbox.com/account/connected_apps You can also get here by Account -> Settings -> Apps

2. Scroll down to "Default editing apps" 

3. For PowerPoint Presentation, select PowerPoint for the web

4. Go back to the page where the file is & refresh

5. Open the file

 

Thanks!
