47 TopicsUnable to open docx file on Dropbox preview page so I cannot see what the comments are referring to
I shared a .docx file with my collaborators for commenting via Dropbox, and I think they commented using the Dropbox comment function. I am aware of the issue that Dropbox comments on a Word file are only visible on the website and not when the file is opened via the desktop app. However, my issue is that now the docx file does not open in the Dropbox website viewer, and I can only see the comments, but not which line they are referring to. The page just says '.docx files are supported but something went wrong'. When I download the file or open it in Word for the web, I cannot see any of the comments. Is there any solution to this?718Views0likes17CommentsExcel file in web in a shared folder it takes ages to open.

Dear community I am able to hide a column on the web excel using my laptop. After refresh, on my laptop the hidden column is hidden away. Same goes when i view the spreadsheet on a shared user's laptop. The problem comes when i tried to view the same spreadsheet on my Android devices and ipads, the hidden column is not hidden anymore. Is there anything that i missed out??844Views0likes7CommentsCannot Open Word Documents in Dropbox
I am synced to open Dropbox documents in the online-only mode on my Surface Pro since it doesnt have a ton of hard drive memory. That has worked well for several years. Recently, my Surface Pro has been unable to open Word documents stored stored in Dropbox. Instead, I get the "Unspecified Error" message. I can open pdf files stored in Dropbox without a problem. What changed? How do I resolve this? I have updated my Windows and Dropbox apps. Thanks.Solved11KViews2likes7CommentsCannot open excel files on my Mac, files aren't corrupt.

Dear Sirs, Couple of weeks ago I started to have problems with openening of 50% of my word documents which are inside dropbox folder. Documents are simple not openening, because they have\\?\ symbos at the beginning of file directory In case I move these not opening files outside Dropbox folder they start to open normally. Can you please advice why some of my files can have these\\?\ symbols appearing? Same document I'm able to open today can be unable to open next time. Same happens on my second PC.
