Thanks for the info, the preview in the Dropbox app is not 100% accurate. Does the file preview normally in the Excel app on the phone?

    If you download the file and open it in the native app, does it appear normally?

      when i download from dropbox the shared excel sheet, and open in a native app in the mobile device, it displays the way it was intended with the columns hidden from the origin

        Thanks for the info. As the file appears the same on both the Dropbox mobile app and the Excel mobile app, there isn't much I can suggest, since even the official Excel app is showing the hidden column.
