Saving documents from Dropbox to my computer
I have searched for how to save a document from dropbox to my computer and it says download as first step but I don't have that as an option for "save as". Only option under save as is to "rename file"...
Help please.
That depends on what you want to do, lebe. :slight_smile:
More specifically, if you want to have:
- A separate copy of the file with only your edits, then yes, you'll have to download and re-upload it to the shared folder.
- Only one file with everyone's edits, those should be automatically applied, so you shouldn't have to download and re-upload the file.
Let me know what you find or if you have any other questions!

To download a file from the website:
- Sign in.
- Click on the Files tab on the left hand side of your screen.
- Locate the file you want to download.
- Click on the ellipsis (...) icon that's on the right side of the file.
- Select Download.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
It says it is saved but not in the "file"...
It is an excel document that was uploaded by someone else on the file authorization. I made some modifications and it says it is saved to dropbox but can't find it in any files.
The excel has names, ss#'s, dates of birth etc... so can't do a screenshot...
It says it is saved on the excel top "ribbon" after the file name and also at the bottom of the screen it says "saved to dropbox"...
- Can someone assist me? I’m having trouble with filling out a document that’s saved in Dropbox, without losing all the data on it.
For some strange reason, it’s not allowing me to save the information or it’s saying that it can’t be saved.
Thank you in advance!
