I can access files on dropbox website, however on all computers utilizing smartsync, every time you try and open a file from the dropbox folder, it says "There was an error opening this doucment. The file cannot be accessed by the system."
I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling dropbox and the same issue persisted. Same issue accross all computers in my office.
Hello everyone! Thank you for raising this issue. We believe that we have identified and fixed the root cause.
You can find a new stable build that addresses this issue here: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Desktop-client-builds/Stable-Build-63-4-107/m-p/317555#M5151
Desktop clients will also be auto-updating to the fixed build.
New version of Dropbox fixed the problem! Thanks!
Kudos for Dropbox Developers/Programmers for create this updated version.
Tested in 12 computers. Confirmed. This update fixed the issue.

Windows 1003?. There is no windows 1003.
Windows 1803 means: 03 March, 18 is 2018.
Winddows 1705 means 05 May, 17 is 2017
I meant windows - 1803
any idea how to fix it ?
Marking files as local is working and it does occured on all files when it is marked on online-only.
On the website preview is working without any issues. after quitting dropbox desktop and marked them on local before closing the app, it is working
let me know what we can do to resolve this.

If you can access the files via Dropbox website, or if you can access the files when you mark the files as LOCAL (not online only) ... then the fix is to download and install this Dropbox version:
Link -> https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Desktop-client-builds/Stable-Build-63-4-107/m-p/317555#M5151
Install, restart and done.
I have already installed, restart and run the last builds and it didn't change anything.
Even installed the office version didn't work either.
