Just updated iPhone and iPad to iOS 14.2. Now, trying to open an encrypted file, it tell me "Decryption Failed. Null" If I open with Excel, it works fine. Anyone else having this issue?

The problem isnt with dropbox its with ios 14.2. I cant open a password protected file attached to an email since I upgraded.

 

If I detach the file and save to my iphone then use the mobile version of excel it works ok.

Same issue trying to open excel files won’t iOS 14.2,from mobile outlook. File dirs open directly from excel. This seems to be an iOS 14.2 issue. Apple needs to take note ASAP.

Same problem here on my Ipad and iphone

All Excel files with password protection give a decryption error when tryong to open them after giving the correct password.

 

I Saw this also happens With SYNC  (another cloud service)

 

So it is a Apple IOS 14.2 problem.

After an update WORD and EXEL by Microsoft, the problem has been  solved.

Laincars is correct, the issue is not resolved!

Sorry, the MS update did NOT resolve the problem for me.  I updated my MS Office over a week ago. The problem really seems to be the iOS 14.2 update.  Everything was working fine until I updated my iPad and iPhone.  Immediately aferwards I had the problem with encrypted documents not opening in DropBox.
