Can't edit dropbox files with Excel online
I Can no longer open Excel files to edit. This has worked perfectly up until about a week ago. The excel page is just blank, see below.

Licenses where always required for a Business account to access Office Online.
Here is our Official Help Center article about this: https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/third-party/microsoft-office-faq
There is a thread where this same issue is being discussed: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Installs-integrations/Why-do-I-need-a-license-to-edit-Word-and-Excel-files-now/td-p/364412
I am here for any further questions of course. :slight_smile:

Ok, thanks! Is this new? I've always edited without licence up until now.
