Dropbox StaffHi ToxicNorse, let's jump right into this!
Can you clarify the file type of these files? Is it safe to assume that you're referring to package files?
If so, keep in mind that the Dropbox mobile app doesn't support direct editing of Pages, Numbers and Keynote files via the app itself at this time.
As these files are package files, generally they can't be edited directly by the mobile app, and need to be accessed by either exporting the file to the other app, or opened in that app using the iOS Files interface.
Hope this helps!
