Unable to pin to Start Tiles in Windows 10

I have apps like Excel and Filemaker pinned to the start menu of windows 10 as tiles.  Under those tiles I also have frequently used files.  So just right click the app icon, click the file you want ...

Hi Andy P.17, great job on the screenshot! 

Let me ask: are the files locally synced to the device, or online-only perhaps?

    Happy Friday Andy P.17!

    I'd suggest that you update the desktop app on your end, since there's a new version out. You can follow this link to do so manually if it hasn't updated already. 

    Can you also check for any updates on Excel and let me know how it goes from there?

      I'll try the dropbox app update.  I"m using a very old version of excel so no updates there.

        Sure thing, Andy P.17. 

        Give it a go, and let me know more.
