How can I open files in Excel, not Excel for the web or GSheets?

[Grahame3]

I have just downloaed Dropbox and uploaded some files but my Excel files wont open in Excel but some weird version Excel for the web, which is awful or Google sheets, neither are any use to me. How can I get them opened in plain Excel as I created them.

And why is there so little information on Dropbox, perhaps I was mistaken getting Dropbox, however it was recommended.

Hi Hannah, all comments are welcome. I don’t know what’s happened but I deleted Dropbox everywhere intending to look for an alternative, but it was suggested I download it again, create a new account and when I clicked on a file it said open with and Excel was an option. That wasn’t there before, so far it seems ok but…………….

Thanks for jumping in
