When I open my files in Dropbox via dropbox.com, I can't edit them

[Rikke H.2]

When I open my files in Dropbox via dropbox.com, I can't edit them.... I don't get any message, but it seems they are converted into pdf files - when I had them on my Mac, they weren´t.
I just uploaded all files from my Mac, since they would not syncronice.. (thats another problem, which I believe has a solution I don't really understand from your explanation at the site.

Hi @rob7c, what error are you getting when editing your PDF files? Are you editing using the mobile app?

If you’re using Acrobat to edit, are the files being saved in the Dropbox folder? Are the files potential in a read-only shared folder, or have other read-only permissions applied to them perhaps be the OS?

Any info you can provide would be great!
