Excel on Ipad Won't Save to Dropbox
I am having an issue saving excel onto my dropbox folder from an iPad. I cannot duplicate this issue on my computer though. I run into the issue when trying to save an excel for iPad file into a fold...
This is a big problem!
But I found a solution that works for me. Turns out if the folder is shared it now gives that error. I created a new folder that is not shared and I am able to save the files to that folder.
This is not a good solution for most of you but it worked for me.

Same findings based on what you said—move it out of a shared folder—problem disappears.

This fails 100% of the time. The issue seems to be only with MS Office and only when you are modifying an exsiting file in Dropbox. I have even seen cases of where the file will have an updated modified date, but the internal contents were unchanged. Essentially, you have to rename the file every time you save it.
