Why can't I edit an Excel file I created and own but other members can edit?

I have tried everything I can think of.  Others I have provided access to the file CAN edit.  But, I cannot.

edHi Mikeymoto, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Are you trying to edit the Excel file on the Dropbox site, via your desktop machine in the Excel app, or on your mobile device?

 

Is this file in a shared folder on your Dropbox account?
