can't save files from Office365-app to Dropbox - supposedly write protected
Hello there! Starting yesterday all of a sudden I can't save files to my Dropbox via the Office 365-app anymore. I get a message telling me that the file is write protected, which it isn't. It tel...
Exactly the same thing is happening to me. Anytime I try to edit Word files in my Dropbox folder on my Android phone, it tells me that the file is "read only" and cannot be edited. This makes Dropbox nearly useless to me.
Exactly the same thing is ALSO happening to me. I have an Android phone with both Excel & Word installed and Dropbox mobile app. For YEARS I have been able to easily retrieve and same files from my private Dropbox folders either through the MS apps OR open them directly from the Dropbox app and after editing save them directly from the MS apps back to Dropbox. It's been a dream. But within the last couple of months when I open either through the MS apps OR through the Dropbox app, I can edit them but the message pops up that the file is READ ONLY and says I must SAVE A COPY or DISMISS. When I try to save, it acts as if it is saving and from then on even includes the file name in the list of recent files within either MS app. BUT the file has NOT been saved in Dropbox at all! Like the others on this thread, I CAN easily save the file to OneDrive or even Box. So either Dropbox has screwed up the interface or MS is locking Dropbox out! But surely this can be solve?
HELP!
