Can I 'Save As' in Dropbox?

When I tried to Save As an XL file in DropBox, I got a long lisiting of other files.. Can I just Save As on the XL documnet, or do I have to take other measures? Thanks very much.

Hey there MrSteve - how are you today?

Could you first clarify if you're using the website to do this or if you're working on your computer's Dropbox Folder (assuming you have the desktop app installed)?

Also, if possible, could you forward me a screenshot of what you see along with the exact steps you take to do this? 

Thanks!

    Walter,

    Thnaks very much forthe prompt reply!  This is not an exotic issue.  I use the Lockbox icon on my opening page, select Documents, scroll down to the document I want (an XL file), select it, and try to Save As with a new title.

    Dropbox saves about 129 different files, and not the XL spreadsheet I want.

    Sorry, no screenshots, as do not know what that is.

      Thanks for the reply MrSteve!

      I'm still not sure I understand the matter at hand - could you provide some additional info? I'll need the following:

      1. The Operating System and the device you're using (for example a computer running Windows 10),

      2. The exact steps you take that result in this (it's not clear to me based on your last message - apologies if I'm missing something obvious)

      3. A screenshot of what you see in your screen would help a bunch (for instructions you can take a look here: http://www.take-a-screenshot.org)

      Thanks!
