Hi, Please can someone help? I'm missing 4 months of information in one of my excel files. Information from June 2025 to 6 October 2025 …… I need to restore all the information up until the 6 October 2025. I've looked at all the version history files and they all the same with missing information for 4 months .... Is there any other way to find this information ... It's extremely valuable. See attached ..... They all have the same information but we add to this file daily .... I don't know what has happened and how to get the information back ?

Until a few days ago, I was able to edit Microsoft files (word, excel) online. Now the page loads with a white screen. I am on a free account. I found a thread that says only Business account holder are able to edit Microsoft files online, but this thread is +6 years old. Has the the terms and conditions changed as of recent?? What I have tried to fix this is use Edge, Chrome browsers and clear my cache to no available.207Views0likes8CommentsHow can I edit my Microsoft Excel files directly from the desktop app and not the website?
Hello, I am having quite the frustrating issue with my dropbox excel files not displaying on my firefox downloads. They are opening, but seemingly NOT from my desktop app, but rather the dropbox.com website, even though I have the correct folders all linked to my computer. The excel files from my dropbox app was always set to be able to edit, however those coming from dropbox.com have macros and will not let me edit the sheet (and to be clear, I have done everything known to mankind with the trust center settings on excel to try and enable the macros)...I have set select sync files to be 'online only' to help save hard drive space. Thank you in advance!142Views0likes5CommentsI can't edit one of my Excel files anymore.
I am trying to work on an Excel document. I have been able to edit it in the past and can edit other Excel documents with no issues. This one (which I downloaded, worked on my laptop and re-uploaded the new version) will not let me edit it. That defeats the purpose. How can I correct this? It loads with the active taskbar, then shuts it off, and I cannot edit it. I don't see a way to attach a file here but I can edit other documents that open in Excel for windows/web so why not this one???Solved339Views0likes6CommentsOne user can't open/edit shared Excel files via her desktop app.

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!!

I am the owner of a shared excel file that is now missing. I cannot see it listed, it is not in my deleted items. I went to my events, and see that the document was edited 2 weeks ago by a colleague. When I try to open it I get the message that " the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file."
