I'm being asked to grant access when saving Excel files as PDFs to Dropbox

I always used to save my excel worksheets as PDFs to a dropbox folder but now its asking to grant permission but won't let me select the folder in dropbox.

Hi MikeDix, thank you for your screenshots! 

 

Could you kindly walk me through the exact steps you follow on your end? In addition, are the options greyed out no matter which path you choose, even if it's outside of Dropbox?

    Hey phoenixhong! To clarify, are the options grayed out only when trying to save your Excel files as a PDF to Dropbox? 

     

    Is this happening with other Microsoft files, too?

     

    What’s the syncing status and app version of your Dropbox app?
