Dropbox claiming file is too large

I have an article that is 6.25MB and 3.5GB total space on my account, but when I tried to update the document, I got the following error message: This workbook has exceeded the maximum size allowed...

Hi Daphne,

Thanks for your response. The error message is attached.  I found another article that informed me the limit for Excel spreadsheet files is 5GB and mine is 6.25GB so that seems to be the problem.  Since this is a document I share, I'm working with my collaborator to see if we can resolve it otherwise we might just move it to Google Drive.

Thanks!
