Why can't I edit an Excel file I created and own but other members can edit?

I have tried everything I can think of.  Others I have provided access to the file CAN edit.  But, I cannot.

    Do you see an option below that, like in this image?

I am trying to edit it within the Excel file in DropBox.  It is a shared folder with other people who have rights to edit. I am doing this on my laptop and iPhone

So, you're using the 'Excel for the Web' interface via the Dropbox site. 

 

What happens when you open the file, what exact options do you get?
