Dropbox StaffHi there, DieBaum, how are you today?
Have you made sure that both Office 365 and your Dropbox app are up to date, and that you're using their latest versions on your mobile? We need to make sure that the error you're getting when trying to save your file to Dropbox, isn't linked to this.

I have added some screenshots so you can see what is going on.

Then, as soon as I try to save a file it turns into 'read only' and I can no longer edit it

Yes, I'm signed in.
These are my files although du to IT-restrictions at work I frequently have to update them on different devices and transfer them by e-mail. Up until yesterday I had no problems caused by that.
