And I am trying to edit through ny iphone app an excel document (which I created on my Mac and is saved as an .xlsx.
I click on rhe doc and then click “open” (which is in a gray box at the bottom)
but I dont get the editing (pencil icon) option after that, I Can only share, save to Files ot print. I used to edit my documentes right there and the changes would be made so that when I accesed the document again either from Mac, ipad or iphone, the changes where up to date
Hope someone can help me out 🙂

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?

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!

See my reply to Hannah's instructions above. If you open the file from the Excel app you should not have to link Dropbox to Microsoft.
Not sure how this works if you have a password set to open the Dropbox app each time. That could block Excel from opening it. Give it a try and post back if you can.
Thanks.
