Excel files don't open on my phone even if when I allow access.
Recently, after I open my excel file from Dropbox, it prompts me to "Microsoft Office Integration would like to access to the files and folders in your Dropbox". I Key "Allow". But it does not open the excel file. Please advise.

Hey Lung, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Excel/Office app on your device, to see if that helps?

Hey acpaintingnm - sorry to hear about this.
Have you tried reinstalling the apps on your device since you first noticed this issue?

Just tried reinstalling, but it remains the same - it prompts me to "Microsoft Office Integration would like to access to the files and folders in your Dropbox". I Key "Allow". But it does not open the excel file.

Hey Lung, there's another user on a similar thread that used this workaround and it worked for them.
Can you try and let us know if it helps?

Hi Hannah
Thank you. It works.
But now I have another issue ... I cannot use 'Remove From Recent' function to remove Excel, Word and PowerPoint file from MSOffice. Please advise
