Keep in mind that opening embedded Word documents within Excel files is not supported in the Dropbox Android mobile app.
While you can open and edit Microsoft Office files (like .xlsx and .docx) directly from Dropbox using the appropriate Office mobile apps, features such as accessing embedded objects (like Word documents inside Excel files) are not available on mobile.
In that case, you might try opening the file on a desktop computer for full functionality. If you need to view or edit the embedded document, using the desktop version of Excel and Word will provide the best experience.
In regards to the Windows syncing icons, you can have a closer look at this helpful article.
Lastly, to update Microsoft Excel on Android, open the Google Play Store, search for "Microsoft Excel", and tap the Update button if available. Alternatively, go to your profile icon, select "Manage apps & device," and update it from the pending updates list.
I hope this clarifies!
