Dropbox Community ModeratorIt depends on how you opened the Excel file to begin with. You could have downloaded a temporary copy and edited it, and it remained in the temporary file location on your machine, which gets cleared out at varying times. Each time you opened the file, it opened in the temporary location, not the Dropbox app or site, and it was being saved there.
Try manually opening Excel, and look in the Recent files list, and see if you can find the file there somehow. If it was temporary, it should have a weird name or location.
When I try manually open Excel and look for the recent files, the mentioned file and all the excel files in drop box are not mentioned there.
