Hello, I shared an Excel file with someone and until last week, he could edit this file with Excel Online without problems. But for a few days, this option is no longer visible. I checked the file, and he is still a member and have the rights to edit the file. There seems to be a bug with dropbox itself, see for yourself : I tried to reproduce the error and I searched within my personal files in the menu "Shared" -> "Links" (by the way, the links listed are not shared files... but anyway...).I found 1 Excel file which have the same problem : - when I click on the three dots on the right, I don't have the menu "open with..." - when I click on the name of the file, it opens on a new tab, directly in Dropbox, and I don't have the menu "open with" - when I am in this new tab, on the file, when I click on the arrow next to the blue button "Share", the submenu of this button loads, but there is also new options that load, and here appears my "open with" menu ! So in my opinion, there is a bug with the app. This is clearly not the expected behavior. The only problem in the meantime is that the person to whom I shared the file with doesn't have the blue button "Share", and I didn't find any other button to trigger the loading of the menu... What do you think ? Did anyone have the same problem ? Have you found a way to fix it ? Thanks in advance.Solved4KViews2likes25CommentsCanât edit Excel .xlsx in iphone (app is updated)

24hrs ago i was working on my excel sheet which i saved. I created a new folder also and moved some documents in the folder. 24hrs later. i go on another of my devices and those new documents and last version of my excel sheet is nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, my dropbox icon shows i am up to date!! The worst that happened an hour ago, i created a link to a new folder that had documents to share to a group and the group members instead are having access to another folder totally not related! Everything is looking like its a film trick going on! Kindly inform if there is an ongoing issue?I can't open some Excel files on the Dropbox app of my 10.15.7 macOS Catalina.
I cannot open certain Excel files I have on Dropbox. It's possible this has something to do with the fact that my Mac is more than 10 years old and is no longer supported. I am running Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7 and can't update. The Excel version I am using on this Mac is 16.66.1. It also can't be updated for the same reason as above. I can open these same files on a Windows computer that is also in the family, leading me to believe the problem is directly related to my Mac and its operating system. Does anyone have any insight into this problem?736Views1like7CommentsI see an older version of my Excel files - how can I get the latest one?
I have 2 excel files that I had saved on my dropbox account. This week I received a new laptop from work and when I opened the files they are a version from several months ago.

Hi there I have one dropbox account for work purposes. After working perfectly, I'm now having issues with the dropbox app on windows laptop. Error message: "word is unable to read this document. It may be corrupt. Try one or more of the following: open and reapair the file/open the file with the text recovery converter". this is affecting 90 per cent of the documents I try and access from the app. I have ensured I'm logged in to the same account (I only have one anyway), uninstalled and reinstalled the app and used selective sync for the folders I need to see in the app. following exactly the same steps on a different laptop, it all works perfectly. So, is there something about a setting on my work laptop that could be causing this? help very much appreciated! thank you1.7KViews1like7CommentsCorrupt file disappeared??
I was working in an Excel file and made a couple changes, when I hit save it froze, then the program closed. When I opened it back up, the file was completely gone from my dropbox, but I did NOT delete it. The only reference to the file whatsoever anywhere on my computer is when I open a different Excel file and on the left side, it appears on the document recovery list, however, when I try any of the options it ultimately tells me the file cannot be opened because it is corrupt. Iâve tried all of the standard options found on dropbox help regarding Recovering deleted files, but none of that works because the file is no longer in my dropbox, including the deleted folder. Any ideas at all? This is a super important file that Iâve been building for a year. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Solved2.5KViews1like15CommentsExcel collaboration with same account on multiple devices
