Sorry I am having the same problem as original poster. I had an Excel spreadsheet that has macros that I cannot get to work in the shared drive. I don't know what changed because they used to work but now I can only get it to work if I save it outside of Dropbox or if I remove Dropbox for Teams from Excel. However, if I remove Dropbox for Teams, the auto sync for all files stops working. I did what was suggested here and tried updating the registry to both 1 and 2 but nothing allows me to have the macros run with in the Dropbox shared drive anymore.
