After a recent email from Dropbox my Excel files do not update in Dropbox after I copy them to the Dropbox Folder If I turn the laptop off and then on again, then they appear as updated. What's going on, they used to update or sync on their own in 5-10 seconds!Solved189Views0likes13CommentsFile updates are not syncing between my computers
Question or Issue I am working on MS Word docs and Excel docs on my two laptops. I keep all my documents in shared Dropbox folders. When I edit any doc in one laptop and Save it, even Save As, and then close it -- the old, unedited version is the only one that will open on the other laptop. It does not matter which one I edit on, the folder is not sharing the saved additions and edits. This feels like the most basic function of Dropbox, but not working for me. It has in the past, but it has been at least months since I have shared other than my recent problems. (It has not worked for weeks, at least.) Just to make sure it is not Windows 360 at fault, I just added a jpg to one folder, saved and closed it. Opening the folder on the other machine, new jpg not there. Help, please! One laptop is Windows 11, HP Ominibook I bought this year. The other is an old Windows 10 HP Pavilion, which I'll need to retire soon.Solved207Views0likes3CommentsDropbox Badge doesn't always work with my Microsoft files.

Hi everyone. Is there a way to sync my Excel files (saved in Dropbox) on the fly between my MacBook and PC? Like Continuity on Mac - u edit file on one device and synchronously see edits on the another device? I have my Excel files synced among devices with Dropbox only if I saved them before switching to another machine. If I forgot to save the excel file on my desktop PC before going to work - I will not be able to access edited version on my macbook till evening when I come from work. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong and they SHOULD sync on the fly somehow212Views0likes7CommentsI can't open Word files from Dropbox on iOS
Hello .. Suddenly i cant open my files from dropbox, it worked as usual yesterday, but after a couple of hours i couldnt open any file at all so i can edit in word. A new window popped up and said something about " docx stores on a serverlocation that does not support". After a couple of hours trying to fix this with uninstalling word,dropbox,microsoft office etc, I managed to get files to open through Word app only when i didnt had microsoft office installed on my Ipad. But at soon as i install microsoft 365 (office) again, it doesnt work. The error screen pops up again. Usually when im able to open to edit word files it opens up through " onedrive" then word through office i believe. The problem i have now is that i still need it to work as it did before with 365 program installed. I have reached out to microsoft but they told me to ask here.. Again, this happens only with my Ipad and Iphone, not on my computer that runs windows.. Anyone who knows how to fix this?

Suddenly I'm having trouble loading Dropbox PDFs (either saved as from JPEGs on Dropbox or created with Dropbox scanner) into Microsoft Word. "New" issues: PDF exceeds "maximal page size" - How can I change the default page size on Dropbox PDF scanner? Text in/on the Dropbox PDF is not OCR. Even after going through the trouble of changing the PDF size, the text is not OCR (not readable when loading or inserting in to Microsoft Word document and/or cannot be selected, copied, and pasted). All help welcome! Thank you!145Views0likes1CommentImporting Data in Excel from Dropbox
