    Hi SBabiche, we appreciate the feedback on this matter. As my colleague said, ti isn't possible to edit Excel files natively in the Dropbox mobile app. The files would need to be opened in the Excel app to be able to edit them.

Hi Andre777, thanks for posting here today!

 

Can you clarify exactly when this started happening? Have you made sure both your Microsoft, and Dropbox app are up-to-date?

 

Also, can you clarify if you're using an individual Dropbox plan, or a Business one?

 

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

      Hey Andre777, thanks for the additional information.

       

      Can you please let us know your device's exact OS version and the versions of both the Dropbox app and the Microsoft app? Are you logged into a Microsoft account as well on your device when attempting to edit your files?

       

      Do you see the integration in your connected apps tab?
