Hi Redhotpaddy! Welcome back to the Community.

 

Can you walk me through the steps you’re taking to open your Excel files on the new device? Are you opening them via the Dropbox app or from the Microsoft Excel app directly? 

 

As for your screenshot, it may not be possible to add it via a mobile device indeed. Can you try to upload it via your computer instead and let me know if you face any issues there?

 

Keep me in the loop for more info.

    Hey Redhotpaddy, I've found this article on the Microsoft support page, can you take a look and let me know if it helps at all?

     

    Have you tried reinstalling both apps and/or clearing their cache?

        Hey Redhotpaddy, are you having an issue with any file, or is this issue only occurring for Excel files?

         

        Also, do you use the same email address for both Dropbox and Google/Microsoft?
