Microsoft Excel file extension .XLSB not syncing?
I have a large .xlsm file that I saved as an .xlsb (binary) file to reduce size by 90% and improve loading efficiency by 50% faster. I can see and launch this file without any issues, however, it does not appear when folder is accessed on other computers. Is there a setting somewhere within Dropbox to allow others to see and access this .xlsb file?
I found the solution. If I use the Desktop APP to store the file in the shared folder it is visible and accessible. It it when I am using my desktop computer directories to access/create/move, the file does not appear.

Hey mhulse, thanks for posting!
Is it possible that the name of this file contains any incompatible characters?
If it does, removing the characters by renaming the file, will help sync it across your computers.
Let me know if you have more questions!No. There are no incompatible characters. The same file name with .xlsx or .xlsm will show on other user computers. It's only the .xlsb file extension that the file does not show at all.
- Thanks
