Excel sharing violations when saving to Dropbox

[ECRFF]

I just started having problems saving Excel files to Dropbox yesterday. 

First, I get this message:

Then when I click select, I get this:

Then when I click okay, I get this:

Then it creates a temporary file, which I can’t find, and if I try close the Excel file, I get the same series of messages.  What is going on?

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, @ECRFF.

Can you try to give Dropbox full disk access on your computer, to see if that helps?

Keep me posted.

Thanks, I gave Dropbox full disk access and also updated by Microsoft Excel app, and it seems to be working now.

Thanks for your help!

Sounds great, @ECRFF, happy to help!

If you need anything else, let us know.

Have a great day!

I am having exactly the same problem as outlined by ECRFF. I created a large, complex file today and need to save it somehow. Please could you help?

Hey @Janine45 - sorry to hear about this.

Could you clarify the size of the file, and send us a screenshot of the exact error you're getting?
