Cannot open Excel files with the Excel app through Dropbox on iPhone
I use the Dropbox app on my iphone. I used to be able to open excel files in excel by using “open with - excel”. But now it sends me to a screen saying Microsoft Integration wants permission. I hit t...
- Thank you.
In the meantime I have worked out how to use the OFFICE 365 app which was suggested by a previous user.
Open the 365app, press on the top left corner (your icon) of the screen, a menu comes in, click the “storage accounts”, choose which dropbox you want and then which Excel sheet. It opens for editing in Excel.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHI Mr Groovyblues, could you try disconnecting the Excel app from your account on this page, and try opening an Excel file on the mobile app again?
Hi folks. Thanks for all the help so far but it still isn’t working. It is always trying to get me to link to Office Integration and when I click Allow it doesn’t change anything.
On the page you linked, I disconnected Excel and Dropbox Integration but no joy. When I click on an excel file in Dropbox it opens as a preview in Dropbox, but it won’t open in Excel. When I try to open it via the Excel app nothing happens at all.
I now cannot find Excel in the Dropbox App Store, only Office and Office 365.

- Seeing as there seems to be something about Office Integration, I note is settings there is something about Native File Integration. Should I do that? But it says I will lose files so that is something I defo so NOT want to do in my opinion, unless you all think that is ok and the problem.

Could you clarify what you mean by the native files integration? A screenshot of this would help greatly.
- I can’t put the screen shot here, for some reason, but I decided to try it anyway. No change.
