XLS modification offline

[nimberiam1]

Hello, 

I would like to be able to modify an XLS file offline with the smartphone app.

I'm able to modify it without any issue, but when i try to modify it "offine", it says that i can consult it but cant' modify it offline.

Is it because i'm on the free version ? Do we have any possibility to modify an excel file offine and synchonize it once i have the connection ?

Thanks.

Hi @nimberiam1, thanks for messaging the Community!

Is this specifically and XLS file, or an XLSX file?

Currently, the Dropbox integration with Microsoft Excel allows for the editing of XLSX files only.

This will help me to assist further!

Hi, 

This is an XLSX file. but i'm not able to edit the file when i put the file available offline and i try to edit it in offline mode.

Is it normal ?

Thanks for the info. As the file has to be opened in the Office app, which then syncs the changes back to Dropbox, it wouldn't be possible to edit the files in Office while you're offline. 

However, it might be possible to export the file to another app to edit it.
