All of a sudden Dropbox tells me to install Word when I try to open my Word document in Dropbox for iPad. I already have Word installed! The only options I have are to tap “Install” (which takes me to the App Store, where Word has already been installed) or “Not Now”, in which case it just takes me back to the main menu. How do I get Dropbox to understand that Word is already installed?
Hi Jay,
Thank you for the quick response, but that didn’t work.
As per your instructions
I removed all microsoft apps from my ipad, including OneDrive.
I then shutdown, powered back up and installed Excel only.
I then tried to open a few different Excel files in DB and it still want’s me to install Excel.
Dropbox ver 320.3
Excel ver 2.71

Karl

The Dropbox / Word problem has corrected itself on my iPad. For now at least.
I wonder if Dropbox had done something to fix this?
Hi all, I just wanted to mention that we heard back from the team and this should be resolved now.
Let us know if anyone is still having issues with this!
