Same problem. I logged out and logged back in and at least it stopped prompting me to install word which is already installed, but now when I try to edit, it says the file is read only. I remember now I had clicked on something in the PC version of the file that I thought would make it such that I’d have to enter a password when trying to edit it on a mobile device, but instead it locked the file. Couldn’t figure out how to unlock it on the PC, so I copied the info and pasted it into a new file, so now I can edit the new file from a mobile device. But, dropbox mobile has been very glitchy today forcing me to sign off and back on several times to get rid of the prompts to install word when I already have it.
