    Thanks for posting on our Community, DebraV!

    Do you mean that you’re unable to click on the link directly, and open your files, if you’re just previewing the Excel sheet on the Dropbox website, and you haven’t opened it via Excel for the web? Feel free to send me a screenshot of what you see, too.

    Also, since you have the desktop app installed on your computer, you can try creating the shared links to your PDFs via the app directly, and then editing the Excel sheet from your computer. 

     

    Does that seem to help? 

     

    Let me know.
