Dropbox StaffHello there OllyL, I hope you're having a good day!
Does this happen with all Excel files in Dropbox?
Or do you see this happening for "Online only" files compared to "Local" files?
If possible, please try testing this by pinning a file that is "Online only", check to see if it's pinned, and then right click the file and choose "Smart Sync - Local" to see if it appears then.
Keep me posted with your findings!

This exact problem is happening to me now that i've upgraded to windows 10. And i check and its across multiple file types (doc, xls, ppt). And they are all local when i check smart sync status.
Any help would be appreciate, this is very frustrating
- MeganHi mm33, let's see what we can do here!
Would you be able to send me a screenshot demonstrating what you see on your end?
I'd appreciate having a clear visual.
Also, what version of the app do you use? You can see this simply by hovering your mouse over the Dropbox icon, near your WiFi.
Keep me posted!Using 128.4.2870. Below image on left shows the file when looking at smart sync. So i opened the file in question and saved and closed it. but then when right clicking on excel thats pinned to my taskbar i do not see the file. This same thing happens with excel, ppt, etc.
Recent views is turned on as if i do this with files saved to my C drive it works.
