In that case, have you tried clearing the app's cache and trying again Redhotpaddy
If you did and this persists, you might need to reach out to Microsoft directly for further assistance as the error comes from their app, not Dropbox.
- So I contacted Microsoft and they informed me it was an issue with the new Dropbox Update. I manged to uninstall the Excel App and reinstalled it and it seems to work now. I did notice when opening Excel and going to open a file Dropbox had disappeared and only OneDrive was showing. After the uninstall and reinstalling the Exel App Dropbox popped up again.
So what i say when I clicked on open on the Excel App I saw the following:
