I can't open Word/Excel files on iPad/iPhone
Hi.
I've searched the forum/web and can't seem to find any answer to this problem.
Until a couple of weeks ago I could edit in all Office-files in Dropbox via both iPad and iPhone.
Then earlier this week I suddenly can't do this, and I'm asked to log-in with a 365 subscription.
Has there been a change I haven'r been awere of, and do I now have to have an active 365 subscription?
I use Dropbox basic, and the files are .docx and .xlsx.
Thank you for your time.
Regards

I'm wondering if maybe the apps need uninstalling and reinstalling to 'pull down' that you're no longer a Team user.

Hi again - I have now left the team folder and deleted it. I have moved all the files to my personal dropbox and shared it with the same people as before - but I still can't edit in Excel or any other Office program.
What to do?
