    So this isn't just an Excel issue, ... Dropbox needs to look into this though ...

    It's not a Dropbox icon. It's from OneDrive. You likely have OneDrive and Dropbox trying to sync the same data, which will never work correctly.

Hi wloh, I've merged you to this thread for users with similar questions. Could you check to see if you have Onedrive installed and running on your machine?

 

If you need any further assistance, please let me know!

    Hi, I am having this issue on my computer but do not believe i have one drive installed or active on my computer. Also it seems only some of my files cannot be accessed. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

      Hey kittzuk, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

       

      Can you please send us a screenshot of the issue, so that we can have a visual as well?

       

      Any additional information is more than welcome!

        Hi there, thanks for your quick response. 

         

        The below screen shot shows two documents, one with the archive icon on top and one without but both within the same folder structure.

         

         

        I am unable to open the file "CZ Offer Letter." Literally, nothing happens when I double click on it or right click and select open. This is happening across file types (i.e. not just pdf, but also xls and word that I've noticed).

         

        I am able to open these files through drop box on the web.
