Is it possible to know the dropbox synchronization status before opening an excel file saved in dropbox?

No. There's no way to programmatically check the sync status of a file.

If you're opening the file from your local Dropbox folder, the file's sync status is shown with an icon overlay. A green check means the file is synced and local. A blue circle with white arrows means a file is currently syncing.

Thank you for your reply. I understood correctly and that doesn't bother me.
I specify my request: as indicated, these are Excel files.
I would like by a vba macro to check the synchronization status of said file.
Is it possible?
