    <description>&lt;P&gt;Dropbox is just a syncing tool and yes, it has features that use Excel but as far as features that Excel uses, it's not Dropbox issue.&amp;nbsp; I am not familiar with using Excel Online but once a file has changed, even adding a period, it will sync those changes to all linked devices.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Whether on my Macbook Pro or my desktop Mac, I can't cut and paste between different Excel spreadsheets. &amp;nbsp;I've tried using the tool bar options, then right clicking my mouse, to Copy and Paste and finally just Cmd + C and Cmd + V. &amp;nbsp;I can get the area I want selected, but when I try pasting I get the message "Your browser can't access the clipboard, so use these shortcuts: &amp;nbsp; Ctrl C, Ctrl V".&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I spoke to Apple who just clarified they use Cmd, not Ctrl, but thought it was a Dropbox problem. &amp;nbsp;Anyone have any ideas?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(I lost a whole load of files as well - all vanished at 11.22 yesterday when I was nowhere near my computer. Recovered them, but a bit nervewracking!)&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello, thanks for reaching out to us, first off, it sounds like you are using the web interface (Browser) to move, upload files,&amp;nbsp; Browser is not really designed to accept pasting of files since it's not a file manager.&amp;nbsp; Have you tried to drag and drop?&amp;nbsp; you can drag the file or files and drop it on the web page for it to upload.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Have you considered using a Desktop Client?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Let me know if this helps&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Tried opening two pages side by side and dragging and dropping, but couldn't make it move.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Okay, I see what is the issue.&amp;nbsp; You are not uploading from your computer to Dropbox.&amp;nbsp; Do your files reside only on Dropbox Servers?&amp;nbsp; you need to use the move option.&amp;nbsp; Go to the file and you will notice 3 dots&amp;nbsp;at the far right-hand side, click on them and a menu will show and select move, then follow the prompt and select the final destination.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Do you have a Dropbox icon in your system tray?&amp;nbsp; if so, did you know that you are running a Desktop client that syncs all files inside your Dropbox folder that is a literal folder on your computer?&amp;nbsp; If you do have an icon in system&amp;nbsp;tray, click on it and select an icon that looks like a folder, that will take you to your Dropbox folder.&amp;nbsp; Any files you see there is synced to Dropbox Servers (Cloud) and to any linked Devices.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes, my files reside only in Dropbox, as they are used by various members of our charity team. &amp;nbsp;But I'm not trying to move the whole document, I only want to copy part of one Excel spreadsheet (about 20 lines) and move it into another Excel spreadsheet. &amp;nbsp;I don't think I have the option to move part of the document when it is opened up from Dropbox in Excel online?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I didn't see an answer to copying a few cells or lines of data from one file (in Dropbox) to another OR even within the same file.&amp;nbsp; Is this possible?&amp;nbsp; I work on a Mac.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Sanchez&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I think your answer may be a little confusing. &amp;nbsp;It is perfectly possible to edit files in dropbox.com, once you have opened up from the preview, but there is still some limited functionality. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you are using dropbox.com you cannot cut and paste between files. &amp;nbsp;You can only do this when you have installed the Dropbox application, which downloads copies of all your files to your hard drive, and then open up two separate folders.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Happy Bank Holiday UKers&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;HI - I am trying to cut a line from one tab on my excel file through dropbox (on-line version of excel) and I can't paste onto another tab (not another document, same document, different tab).&amp;nbsp; Is this a malfunction or an oversite in ability to edit?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

Nor I can save these doc on my computer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What can I do to work on the files normally without these restrictions (and the access by the author to edit etc I have).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Darya&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for joining us here&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1315877"&gt;@world_darya&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Can you let me know how Dropbox comes into play with this? From the issues that you mentioned it might not be something related to Dropbox.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Since Pages are a Mac app, are you perhaps using a Windows device to open these files? It may be that you need to convert them into a file type that is compatible with your computer or open them in Microsoft Word instead if you don't have the Pages app installed.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
