I’m on Dropbox version 274.2 and Microsoft Word version 2.60. Today I started having an issue where trying to open a Word doc in my Dropbox app prompts me to install Word, despite the app being installed and up to date. If I tap through, Dropbox then sits waiting for Word to download, and never opens the document.
I have the same
I've try everything and nothing
Hi everyone, hope you’re all doing well!
Just to make sure we’re all on the same page, can you please try using the unified app that @Elixir mentions here, and let me know what happens?
Otherwise, feel free to send any relevant info, like the exact OS that you’re using and the app version of your Dropbox app, and we'll take it from there.
Thanks.

Hey @Gazlaz, @zoltan and @Jelen, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Are you having this issue only when opening files saved to your Dropbox? How about other MS Office files saved in other places on your device?
If it's just Dropbox, can you try to clear out the Dropbox app's cache, from the option in the app's settings, to see if that helps?
Keep us posted!

Hi @allenng, happy to see that your troubleshooting managed to resolve this!
Also, @mduck314, can I ask the version of the OS and Dropbox app that you have installed to your device? Feel free to also send me a screenshot of the error message you see on your end when trying to preview the files.
Thanks a bunch!
