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

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!
