I see an older version of my Excel files - how can I get the latest one?

I see an older version of my Excel files - how can I get the latest one?

I have 2 excel files that I had saved on my dropbox account. This week I received a new laptop from work and when I opened the files they are a version from several months ago. Is there a way to get those newer versions? What did I do wrong that the files were not updated in my dropbox account?

Could you reinstall the Dropbox desktop application, without uninstalling it first, by using this link, and then reboot your machine?

I tried that. Same result

I click the app icon, blue circle spins for 10 sec and then nothing.

Hey @Dzulkiewski, would you mind sending me a couple of screenshots of your Windows device task bar, in order for me to have a visual too?

Here is a [removed per Community Guidelines] of what happens when I click on the dropbox links.

Hey @Dzulkiewski, thanks for that! 

 

However, keep in mind that for security reasons we don't have access to the link you provided, I'm afraid. 

 

If you could send a few screenshots my way, that'd be amazing.

Drop Box is there, but when I click on it the blue wheel spins and then stops.

@Dzulkiewski, if you look where your computer’s clock settings are showing, do you see the small Dropbox icon then? This is how it should look like.

Yes, I do. There is a red bubble next to it with the number 2 in it

It sounds like you're referring to your notifications in the desktop app @Dzulkiewski 

 

Could you send us a screenshot so that we can make sure we're on the same page?
