Dropbox StaffHey Pat7330890, thanks for posting here!
Can you clarify the OS you're using on your Pro Pixel, along with the version of the app that you have installed there?
If you have any screenshots of the exact error message you get, that'd be amazing.
Keep me posted!
Has anyone fixed this issue? I've been having this issue for quite some time now. I can edit a word doc on my PC, save it and can view it anywhere on any PC, phone or laptop.
I can open the same word doc named "storage catalog" from my phone's dropbox app, select office 365 as the default app to view and edit. After editing the document and trying to save, I get this message "Can't edit - This file is read-only. to edit it, First save a copy of the file"
I would save the file under a smiliar name such as storage catalog V2, it will not save the newer version name, the original file name "storage catalog V1" remains unedited despite trying to save it.
