Shared Excel file doesn't get updated
We use shared Dropbox access. I accessed a shared Excel file online (web browser not app) and made some changes to it. Now the other person (original owner) cannot see the updated info. Can someone help?

Welcome to the Dropbox Community, wing1307.
How was the file in question shared with you?
Was it included in a folder the owner invited you to?
Was it through a 'can edit' link? Or perhaps a 'view-only' link and you saved the file to your account and then started editing it?
Let me know and we'll go from there?
Thanks for replying.
So, the owner has given me full access to their Dropbox folder and hence to the files.
I have full access to the shared file. I could edit it, its just they don't see the updated data at their end.
