Dropbox StaffSorry to see you're having this issue, maiwennoplinus.
Are these files currently set to online-only or available offline?
If they're online-only, can you switch them to available offline and let me know how that goes?
Hey Hannah!
Thanks for your reply. All my files are available offline. So I don't think that's where the issue lies.
Plus yesterday I discovered that when I go to the online version of dropbox, I can open my excel files in excel for web, but when I try to download the files, I get the same error... Not sure if this additional info is helpful 🙂
Thanks in advance,
Have a great end of your week,

Thanks for the update, Maiwenn!
Hmm, if the downloaded files from the web are also giving you the same error, it might have to do with Excel itself, but let's continue investigating.
If you completely close the Dropbox app, does the issue persist?
Just make sure the files you'll try to open are set to available offline, before you close the app.
Hi Hannah!
So I discovered that dropbox was installed on my google drive instead of my internal hard drive. I've put dropbox where it is supposed to be and tadaaa problem solved 🙂
But thanks a lot for your help anyways!Have a great day,
Maiwenn
