Hi @dluptonmd, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Just for clarification, are you opening the Dropbox app first, and then attempting to edit a Word file via the app, which would then open the official Word app?

 

Are you on a stable WiFi connection, or using cellular data?

 

This will help me to assist further!

    Yes. Opening the Dropbox app first and editing Dropbox file with word 'always.'

      If you're not on a Dropbox Basic plan with more than 3 devices connected, could you try uninstalling the app, rebooting the device, and re-installing it to see if this helps?

       

      Could you also try uninstalling and reinstalling the Word app as well?
