'Can't complete the action' error when trying to edit documents

Hello. I've been editing several documents and I added some text over but now I can't remove some of the texts. I tried with several documents and some of them are working and some are not. It's displaying this message: "

 

Can't complete the action.
Something went wrong. Please try again.
 

I tried several times and different document but it's taking some of them and not saving the others. How do I fix this issue?

    Hi there, knoble14, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    What kind of documents are you editing and how are you editing them?

     

    If you're using the Dropbox website, try from a different browser or a private browsing window and let us know how it goes.

     

    Thanks.
