Dropbox Community ModeratorHey T Blumer, sorry to jump in here!
You’ll no longer be able to open Microsoft Office files in Google Drive. To continue editing, an additional Microsoft Office license may be needed. You can also manually convert these files to Google Drive formats.
Let me know if you need more info. Thanks!
Hi Megan
It would not worry me to continue working with Microsoft 365 as most files are in xlsx. What's rather disturbing are the following experiences we now were making:
1. We are working online in Dropbox/Chrome.
2. Opening the xlsx files (usually respectively once opened with Google) now with Microsoft (in Browser), lots of formatting is lost (fonts, pictures in cells etc), files seem to be corrupted.
3. Creating a new xlsx file the above mentioned problem does not occur.
4. How can we save those hundreds of xlsx files that have been treated with Google? I hope there is a workaround otherwise this would be a disaster ...
