- Thank you.
In the meantime I have worked out how to use the OFFICE 365 app which was suggested by a previous user.
Open the 365app, press on the top left corner (your icon) of the screen, a menu comes in, click the “storage accounts”, choose which dropbox you want and then which Excel sheet. It opens for editing in Excel.
I suddenly have similar issue, And yes your solution works too, but that’s more troublesome then just hit open in button. So I try to find the way, so I reinstall all app and clear caches. For the reference, even after I reinstall 365, it still ask to install Microsoft excel also when I try to open excel file in dropbox. Anyway I reinstall and link Dropbox and office 365 to related account. And link Dropbox account to office 365. but I was getting same error and cannot open file.
Then I realised I didn’t link dropbox to Microsoft excel app which is different than office 365 app on iPhone. So I go to excel app and link dropbox then now it’s working fine.
