Hey Minnieitaly, welcome to our Community! 

 

Did you log into your Microsoft account before you tried to edit this file of yours on your iPad?

 

I'm asking because Dropbox Basic, Plus, and Professional accounts can edit for free, however you'll be asked to sign in with a Microsoft account.

 

If you open an Office file that's saved to your device directly through the Excel or Word app, for example, are you seeing a different behavior?

 

And if you clear the Dropbox app's cache from the settings, does that help?

 

Let me know and we'll go from there!
