So i tried using another broweser but that did not help. As you can see entire button where you can choose to work in the file in excel online is gone.
I have similar files on Dropbox that cant be accessed via excel aswell.
But I have seen that if someone is already working in the file, the pop up shows up saying that I can see the updated file via Excel online. And asking me if I want to open it via Excel online. Then it works, but as I said, only if someone is actively working in it.

If you click on the dropdown menu (arrow) next to the 'download' option, what other options do you see?
\n\n
And if you click on the '...' (ellipsis) button on the right side of the file name, before actually opening it to preview it, do you see the 'open in' option there?

Can you let us know more about this? Which platform do you use, in order to open your Microsoft files, and do you get any specific errors when trying to edit them?

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

In the dropbox application / files / *.*xls file
Then I visualize the file and when I press the edit key (a square with a diagonal line) to write, the dropbox goes back and the files in the archive appear again.
Before, when I pressed the edit key, I was able to work on the file.
From your second screenshot, the default app to open the files is the Dropbox site. Could you change it to make this Excel on the web?
