    Hi Hannah & Jay ,

     

    I hope you both are doing well. 

     

    I contacted Microsoft Community about the said problem. They also don't have any clue about this. 

     

    So, I took a leap of faith and deleted all the Microsoft Apps from my android device and re-installed them later.

    Surprisingly, it works and I am able to edit the files in my DropBox thru the android app. 🙌🏻😊

     

    I am sharing this here for the whole community. 

     

    Thanks & Regards,

    Haseeb

Hi HaseebMIT, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Is your mobile owned by a company or managed by one?

Is this for any Excel file on your device?

This will help me to assist further!

No Jay!

It's my personal mobile and the file is in my Dropbox, owned by myself ... 

 

It's happening with all the Excel files ...
