I followed the directions in the link, and ensured that the Office integration was enabled throught the Admin settings of my Drobbox Business account. However, when I go to excel/word/powerpoint and choose the 'Save As' funciton and try to add dropbox as a place, it is still not listed as an option for Online Locations. I am restricted to Sharepoint and OneDrive.

Anyone experience this as well and have a solution?

    Hey Fixxxer, thanks for poking me here! Kindly note that if you have a Dropbox Basic or Plus account, you will not need a Microsoft account or Office license to edit your files.
     
    However, if you have a Dropbox Business account, you will need an enterprise Microsoft account with a license that allows editing in Office Online (Business, Business Essentials, Business Premium, ProPlus, E1, E3, E4, or E5).
     
    Additionally, if you're using a tablet larger than 10", Microsoft requires that you have an O365 license to use Office applications. 
     
    Would you mind checking whether any of the above applies in what you’re currently experiencing? Please let me know of your findings in your next message here so as to follow-up with you as closely as possible. I’ll be awaiting your next reply!
