In the meantime I have worked out how to use the OFFICE 365 app which was suggested by a previous user.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey Mr Groovyblues!
I just checked with our team, and it seems there is an ongoing issue that we're aware of and tracking at the moment.
I'll make sure to update this thread once the issue has been resolved. Thanks!
A-ha!!! Thank you! I’m pleased (in an odd way) that its a real problem and not just me being stupid. I await developments.
I ask Microsoft für this … They know the problem…. But a little workaround that helps…. Use Microsoft 365 (Office) App and it works… Word App to, But not the Excel App
I’m having the same problem. I have used my iPad Pro for working in excel docs for years (from dropbox) and now it is not working. Any progress on a solution for this?
Use the Microsoft 365 IOS App
- I have that app, butI cannot open existing excel files from DB. I can only Create new ones. How do I open existing?
I have the same problem on my iPad, but not on smartphone that works on Android, so maybe the problem is Apple, (again) 🙄
