Dropbox keeps asking me to install Word even though it’s already installed.
All of a sudden Dropbox tells me to install Word when I try to open my Word document in Dropbox for iPad. I already have Word installed! The only options I have are to tap “Install” (which takes me to the App Store, where Word has already been installed) or “Not Now”, in which case it just takes me back to the main menu. How do I get Dropbox to understand that Word is already installed?
Hi all, I just wanted to mention that we heard back from the team and this should be resolved now.
Let us know if anyone is still having issues with this!

The Dropbox / Word problem has corrected itself on my iPad. For now at least.
I wonder if Dropbox had done something to fix this? - Walter3 years ago
