27 TopicsWord documents won't save to dropbox - goes back to 'Document 1'
If I start a new Word document ("Document 1") and go to save it to a Dropbox folder with a new name ("The saved document"), the document window will have the new name across the top for a couple of seconds and then it goes back to 'Document 1'. The file will appear in the dropbox folder but it will be empty. Same thing happens saving other documents - I end up with empty docs. Sometimes it appears to work if I save it to another dropbox folder rather than the one I want to save it in, or perhaps it's just that it works after multiple attempts. But I'm finding it's easier to not save to dropbox at all, but save to my local drive then copy and paste it over. It's annoying. I have no problem saving to OneDrive or to the C drive so it seems to be a dropbox issue. I have looked for solutions but can't find anything.14KViews0likes7CommentsBlank word word document after saving

I create a word document in Microsoft Office then save to a folder in Dropbox. On retrieving the document I discover it’s a blank page. I’ve powered down, deleted app then reinstalled it, as suggested by Apple support but to no avail. Is it because Microsoft want me to take out a subscription as I had this free version of Office for years or does the problem lie with Dropbox? I’ve been using Dropbox without any issues for the past 5+ years5.1KViews0likes7CommentsExcel Pinned Files on Taskbar - Doesn't show DropBox files
Hi there, I've had this problem before and can't remember how I fixed it. Basically there is a weird bug where spreadsheets stored in DropBox don't show up in the recent files when you right click the Excel icon in the Windows taskbar. It's something to do with cloud files I think but there is a way you can get around it. It's really annoying because I always pin my shortcuts down there new files don't show up half the time. Does anyone know the fix?Solved4.9KViews0likes10CommentsI keep getting an error when I try to open a word document - Additional permissions are required...
I keep getting the message to Grant File Access, followed by another message in chich additional permissionas are required. reading another post on the subject, restarting the computer does fix it. but this is happening on a daily basis. This is a mac running Mojave10.14.4 (18E226). I can't seem to find what the pattern is, why this occurs. It happens maybe when it is syncing but then I cannot access any more files in the whole dropbox after the error moment onwards.4.5KViews0likes3CommentsExcel file macros do not work in shared dropbox folder

I have two apps and not long ago I used Sheets to open those same xlsx files from dropbox. Somehow MS Excel (defenitely not my choice) became the default application and when I click "Open with" the option list does not show up - MS Excel just opens it up automatically. Sheets is still available on my phone and I can open up xlsx files. Android 8.0.0 By the way a few years ago I've reported similar issue for txt files and it was addressed at that time.Solved3.8KViews0likes5CommentsTemporary files are created for Office files only in the Dropbox folder
