My Dropbox files won’t load on my ipad’s Microsoft Word app and a notification come up saying something about the server and internet connection. I have the Dropbox app on my iPad and that syncs my file fine with my computer and I can view all files, however I can’t open them in Microsoft Word on my iPad. I managed to open them in Read-only but as soon as I tried to edit, it said the same thing about the server and internet connection.
This never used to be an issue so not sure what has changed and why it no longer lets me use the files.
