Re: Local Dropbox files look different when opened, then ones on the Dropbox website

Local Dropbox files look different when opened, when compared to the Dropbox website

My boss has a local Dropbox app and when the file in question is opened, let's say Word, it looks like a MS Word document. However, when the same document is opened from the folder on the website, the top of the document shows who it is shared with. Is there a way to have both the local document and website document look the same with the sharing intel.  This screenshot is how we want the local version to resemble. Attached is a photo from a web-version document.

That's not the document that looks like that. It's the header of the Dropbox website. There's no way to have that information display locally in Word like it is on the website.

 

There is the Dropbox Badge, or Microsoft co-authoring if enabled, that shows similar information but in a different manner.
