Decryption fails running iOS 14.2
Just updated iPhone and iPad to iOS 14.2. Now, trying to open an encrypted file, it tell me "Decryption Failed. Null" If I open with Excel, it works fine. Anyone else having this issue?

I also have success opening an encrypted file within Dropbox after updated 14.4 IOS update. Thanks for everyone's help and input.

Also, on my iPhone, I open dropbox and go to that combo file. Enter my password and get the result above. If i click on the "open" button, then I am able to open in Excel with my password. Never had to do this before my iOS upgrade yesterday. My wife's phone has the exact same issue. We are able to open on our macs but not our iPads or iPhones.

Glad to see I'm not the only one!
- ltx5 years agoHelpful | Level 6Thanks for mentioning iOS 14.2! I didn’t realize until you mentioned it that that was what changed to cause all my password protected files (excel/word) to no longer open within dropbox. I couldn’t find anyone else having this issue when I googled online for a fix. Thank you for posting it!

With the new Iphone 12, the Excel type file (.xlsx) with access code is no longer available when you type the access code.
