and in incognito windows

Hi, I worked with someone yesterday on the same issue with opening files in office online from Dropbox, in our case if we used the edge browser we could open the files successfully and coauthor, so you may want to try that.  The problem was occurring on chrome and we also tested the firefox and the problem was present there as well.  Thank you.

I don't see any methods of contacting on the page you link to contact you. However, I would be happy to have you contact me or my user who is having the problem by email or phone, neither of which I want to post on the forum. Please advise on how to reach you.
