    Hey psachse60, welcome to the Dropbox Community & thanks for posting here on the matter! 
     
    You may keep in mind the issue is currently actively investigated here by Frank_S, who has been following all existing cases affected internally, though it appears that this has been resolved for some users. I’d happily look into that with you, though I’d just need a little more info: 
     
    •  Initially, assuming that you’re running the latest version of the Dropbox application on your phone (82.2), can you also ensure you’ve installed all OS updates? Also, ensuring that you’re running the latest version of the third-party app, where you’re editing your files on your phone is also advisable. 
    • Secondly, could you include a step-by-step description of the behavior, so that I make sure to re-create on my end & understand what you’re experiencing? 
     
    Thanks again & once we have this info, I’ll do my best to analyze the case with you!

It appears this issues still has not been resolved.  I can open an excel file in my Dropbox but once I am working on it, it will not upload the modified version.  I can also save a duplicate or new file to Dropbox from excel on my ipad but once I make modifications it will not upload the changes.  I have started using one drive and it seems to work a lot better.   I use Dropbox for most of my files, but your not leaving me much choice.  Please address.
