Hey Ridwan Musa, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Are you seeing this behavior only with Microsoft files or also other files that are set to online-only?
And is this a large file in size? Do you see the same if you double-click on really small files?
Keep me posted.

I've only tried to open Microsoft files like Word and Excel so far because they're the only ones in my Dropbox explorer. The same issue occurred with the small file size.

Thanks for the update, Ridwan!
Can you add a different file type, like an image or a video file, as a test, to see what happens with those?
- Ridwan Musa3 years agoExplorer | Level 3Other file formats (photo, video, text, and pdf) can be opened. Only Microsoft Office files are inaccessible. In addition, my Dropbox version is v156.4.4908, and my Microsoft Office version is Microsoft Office 2010 (14.0.7116.5000 (32 bits)).
