When I access the files through the web instead of on my local drive, I can see the updates so I think it's ok. I made an excel file copy just in case though and that won't save to Dropbox locally or my desktop so I think the issue is with Excel. If I can see the file updates online on Dropbox will they definitely be there if I abandon the Excel copy in order to check the Excel status?

I should also clarify that all the work I did on this spreadsheet was done online on Dropbox as I couldn't open the file any other way. I'm not sure of file size. Where can I view that?

Hi Walter, no, not yet. But I will do in the morning. Have to finish for today. Thanks

Morning Walter, all appears to be working now. I had a colleague check they could view my changes on Dropbox files, then I shut everything down and did a full reboot. Fingers crossed the issue is fixed. Thanks for your help
