Hey sbiggar5144, sorry to hear about this.

 

Could you let us know your device's exact OS and the versions of both the Excel app and the Dropbox app installed on your phone?

 

If you could also walk us through the exact steps you're taking that result in this error and send us a screenshot of it, I'd appreciate it.
