Can't edit Microsoft files using the mobile app. I'm getting an error, that there was a bug.
Dropbox keeps crashing every time I try and edit a file - it won't open it and after a couple of attempts it says the app has closed because it has a bug

This issue has been fixed on the latest stable release on the Android app 336.2.2.

Hi Missymoo, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
How are you editing your files, on your computer itself, via the website, or via the mobile app?
What type of file are you editing? Are you on a stable internet connection?
Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!
- Missymoo2 years agoExplorer | Level 4Using the app on my phone. Won't work for any of my files - excel or Word. Same issue happening with my partner. Can however access and edit fine on the laptop.

You can copy and paste the screenshot into the post, or click the camera icon in the format bar.
Regarding the behavior, what version of the Dropbox mobile app and Word etc are you running?
