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.

Thanks for posting this about 14.2. I’m running 14.2 on iPhone 8 with no issue when I use the password to open my secured document, but my wife can’t do it on her iPad running 14.2. Seems inconsistent based on other comments that it’s on one or both. I’ve had iOS 14 for about a week with no issues on this topic, and I just downloaded 14.2 on iPad for my wife yesterday, and then it quit working. I have Excel and it also opens the document with no issue, however she does not have it installed, so not sure if there’s a correlation or not. Any updates from Dropbox on this issue will be appreciated and sooner rather than later please. Thanks!
