    Hey adlbrk, sorry for the delay here!

     

    Can you try  workaround and let us know if it helps?

     

    You should be able to use the Office app to create a new file and then save it to Dropbox, as you can enable Dropbox as a location to save to.

     

    From there, you should be able to open the file within Dropbox.
