Cannot open Excel files
Connot open Excel files from Dropbox folder since yesterday. Word files are OK
Now I found the same problem trying to open an Excel attachement in a mail. Obviously it is a Excel problem and not a Dropbox issue. The workaround works in both cases.
Thanks again!
Thanks Daphne,
This seems to work at least twice with files, which are not on my Excel "recent files" list. So This is a good workaround for me although we do not know yet why opening from Explorer suddenly stopped functioning.
Thanks for your help,
Best regards, Ard

Thanks for letting me know that Ard1!
If you haven't already then, I'd suggest reaching out to Microsoft Support to see if they can shed any light on the situation here.
Your thread will remain open for now though so please feel free to get back to me here anytime if you have any updates that you'd like to share with us.
I hope you have an "Excel"lent weekend ahead!
