Which Dropbox account you using when opening the Excel files, the personal or the Business plan? What type of plans do you have currently?

Again, all these questions have been answered already - can you go back through the full chat/threads so you're not asking redundant questions?

Dbell654, can you follow the steps below and let me know if they help at all?
- Navigate to the Excel app on your mobile device.
- Tap account icon in top left corner.
- Tap 'Storage Accounts'.
- Tap 'Edit'.
- Remove desired accounts to ensure only 1 Dropbox account is connected.
- Retry opening an MS Excel file from the Dropbox app.

Have you thoroughly reviewed all the previous chats and threads here? These steps are not at all relevant. I cannot connect Dropbox. That's the whole problem. There are ZERO accounts connected.

I'd like to join in on trying to figure this out, can you contact me, as well? I have this problem: Excel only, Word and PPT work as expected.
