Thanks for the update.
You can try changing the default apps used when opening files via the Dropbox mobile app by doing the following:
- Open the Dropbox app
- Tap on the menu button
- Tap the gear icon (or "Settings" on older versions of the app)
- Tap âManage Default Appsâ
- Press âRemoveâ next to the app that youâd like to remove
Let me know how it goes!

Thank you so much, I was able to address that using your instructions.
There is defenitely someting wrong with Sheets android application since when I went to default app selection in Dropbox, Sheets did not show up there so somewhere in the process I had to use link something like "select other app". Regardless of the fact that I had only Sheets a couple of months ago and it worked fine with Dropbox.
And now I am having another issue with Sheets where I open up an xlsx file from Dropbox, select Sheets, and Sheets show in file Details that location is Dropbox, but when I am trying to save the file, it only shows options Google Drive and Device. And when I select Device, it does not retain the original folder and defaults it to Downloads. This, however, is a different issue and I'll do more research and may need to create another topic.
Thank you so much for your help!
