I'm no longer able to edit documents in Word/Excel on iOS
I’m using a basic account on an iPad mini and have had no problems over the years opening and editing documents in word and excel. I recently switched to the newest model (7 with iOS 18.3.2), updated Dropbox, word and excel, restarted the tablet and am continuously being asked to activate Microsoft 365 to edit documents. I’ve tried just entering my Hotmail info which has worked in the past but it says subscription not found. My Dropbox account is showing in word on the left hand side as an other storage option and I can view and open all of my documents but can’t edit them. How can I fix this?
I can't edit my Paper docs after migration. Any ideas?
I love Paper application, because is lite easy to use and verry fast to search in it .... but starting yesterday, i found all my papers moved inside dropbox in a folder called "Migrated Papers Docs" and now I saw that I am not able to edit it any more and the search is working only for title not for the content or at least is not so sharp like was 2 days ago. Do you have any ideea?
Lost my updates on an Excel file after 'Resource Deadlock' warning
I was working on a file on Excel, I thought I had saved but possibly not. The file was live in my window. Excel did not crash, but when I went back to Excel - it had disappeared and when I tried opening it I got a Resource Deadlock Warning. I wasn't connected to the internet at the time. I probably should have checked my old files then but it didn't occur to me. When I was next on the internet I opened the file and it was a file from over 3 weeks ago. I have since searched everywhere on version history/events and my hard disk temporary files for the old file but only the version from September has come up. I feel probably no way of recovering but thought worth checking what went wrong and if anyone else has had this problem. Not sure if it is a dropbox or excel issue or a combination of the two.
My Excel formulas don't show properly on Dropbox.
My team and I work on a shared excel spreadsheet on dropbox. Recently we have had the issue that our formulas do not want to pull through correctly. The formula's solution only loads in when my the page is refreshed. Can someone please advise on how to fix this?
Can Google docs be edited in Dropbox?
Forgive me if this is a silly question: Many of my clients send me a google doc to edit/view dynamically, alongside them. Is there any way to have Google docs functionalit (have multiple people be able to edit and see changes in real time), but have that doc located/stored in a Dropbox folder on my desktop? I want to stop having to open my google drive folder and just have all my MS and Google docs loacted in my DB folder, but also keep the functionality of google docs.
