Can't edit dropbox files with Excel online
I Can no longer open Excel files to edit. This has worked perfectly up until about a week ago. The excel page is just blank, see below.
Licenses where always required for a Business account to access Office Online.

There is a thread where this same issue is being discussed: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Installs-integrations/Why-do-I-need-a-license-to-edit-Word-and-Excel-files-now/td-p/364412
I am here for any further questions of course. :slight_smile:
Ok, thanks! Is this new? I've always edited without licence up until now.
