How can we do basic spreadsheet editing on a mobile device?
The other main cloud storage providers both have spreadsheet editing software. And they apparently no longer support Dropbox. My only option to have a shared spreadsheet stored in the cloud with easy editing ability seems to be to use either Google sheets (with Google drive) or Microsoft Excel (with one drive). Your PDF markup feature is fantastic. Something like that would be great. Hit the edit button and bingo you can enter some data. No downloading or opening in a 3rd party app.Solved173Views0likes10Comments

The Microsoft files on Windows 11 are prompting for a Dropbox sign in every time I try to open them.

Remove Dropbox login popup when opening an Excel file from my desktop app.
Application Affected Excel Device Lenovo Legion Operating System Windows 10 Dropbox App Version v231.4.5770 Issue: Recently, when opening Excel files on my Dropbox path (these files are also saved offline), Dropbox has been requesting that I log in to Dropbox from within Excel (a pop up appears). Doing so created a variety of issues (macros no longer being permitted to run, changes to files not syncing), so it is seemingly superior for me to NOT log in to Dropbox from within Excel. However, by not logging in, the popup appears every single time I open an Excel file. Apart from being annoying, this is also causing me issues when attempting to read and write Excel files from Matlab code. How can I permanently prevent this Dropbox login popup from appearing in Excel? Some things that I have tried and/or implemented that have NOT solved the problem: - Turned off "Show Dropbox badge" in preferences - Turned off "Show Dropbox in Microsoft Office as a save location" - Uninstalled and reinstalled Dropbox on my computer - Removed Dropbox as a "Connected service" in Excel - Removed Dropbox COM add in in Excel settings Thanks in advance.Solved681Views1like7Comments

Hello, I opened a Microsoft Excel file from the Dropbox app on my iPad Pro and I saved it after I made changes and it will not upload the new version into Dropbox, it just says "Upload Pending". I tried deleting the Dropbox app and deleting the Excel app off the iPad and I tried turning it off and back on and I also tried switching to a different network and nothing has worked so far. Please help! Thank you!3.4KViews1like6CommentsCan I reference a workbook cell in another workbook that other people can access?
When referencing an external workbook cell from another workbook, the string that is entered is of the form 'Users/mikegoosebumps/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox-ESDT/Mike Goosebumps/Folder/[shared_folder_name]'. which works fine for me but if others load the Excel workbook, this obviously doesn't work. Is there a string that can be used in place of the above to dynamically reference to the the shared folder [shared_folder_name]? An added complication is I'm using Mac and colleague are Windows users?88Views0likes1CommentExcel crashes when opening a file from Dropbox
Hello. This just started occurring yesterday for one of my machines. I have files stored on Dropbox sync'd through filer explorer. When I open the file from dropbox (file explorer), excel quits responding. When I open the same file from my Desktop, Excel works as normal. Dropbox is listed as a connected service in Excel and there have been no issues before yesterday. I have updated office and performed a repair without luck. Any thoughts?1.4KViews1like17Comments
