Why can't I open Microsoft files on my mobile device?
I updated my iPad Pro & now I can't open Dropbox files in Microsoft apps. I can see Dropbox, and I can open in other apps (Adobe, for instance), but Word, Excel, etc. tell me that the server is gone ...
Hey fellas - apologies for any inconvenience this might have caused so far and thank you for alerting us to this.
Our engineers are already aware of the problem and are investigating.
I'll make sure to circle back here to let you know more as soon as I have an update to share.
For the affected users noticing these errors when trying to access their Microsoft files (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) I'd suggest that you logged a ticket with our team so we can look into this and help further with all of our tools at our disposal.
Thank you all for your diligence and have a great rest of your day.
Pls note i can't link Dropbox with Microsoft Office apps since today. How can i solve it?
Use Browse to go into Dropbox and open the file. You cannot add dropbox as a place at the moment on iOS devices and it is not appearing as normal when you go into Microsoft appns. So use Browse or “....more” to find dropbox.
Yep, I deleted Dropbox from my connected services via Word for iPad, thinking I needed to reinstall it and now I get get it back.
I have the same issue as everyone else. My ticket number is #8903885.
