Excel xlsm File conflict

Hello there,
We are working in a team with xlsm files on Dropbox. Is there any chance to work with several people on this simultaneously?

The web version of the files doesn't seem to be useful for working on proper with xlsm and if you open those files locally with excel software there are creating conflicts files when more than one is saving changes at once.

Thanks for any Tipps regarding this. It would mean the world for our teamwork :))

Cheers.
Benni

    Hey Obihoernchen - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!
     

    Can you please  confirm that you're using this way to edit your files?

     

    If you're also a Microsoft 365 user, you might be interested in the Microsoft Co-Author beta as well, that's why I'm asking.

     

    Let us know more and we'll take it from there, Benni.
