I do all my site work using Word or Office 365 mobile apps on My Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and save all my work into Dropbox. However, last couple of weeks i can no longer save my work to Dropbox only locally or into Onedrive. I can open files from Dropbox and its linked but i cant save them.

Ive uninstalled and reinstalled, cleared cache etc and im just back in the same place again.
