Hi all, I'm an eng lead for the team that owns document editing at Dropbox. Thanks for all the helpful context. This looks like it might fall under my team's ownership, though I need a bit more context. Is the file you're trying to edit a PDF document, or some other file type like Microsoft Word?

 

I've created a ticket for this on our side and it will be added to my team's queue. No promises on turnaround time and we still need some more info, but just wanted to let you all know it's been filed we will triage it.
