Dropbox StaffHey ExasperatedUser, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
I'm not sure if you're aware, but Dropbox Basic, Plus, and Professional accounts can edit for free, however you'll be asked to sign in with a Microsoft account.
On Android devices, you'll be able to edit without signing in for some time, but eventually a Microsoft login will be required. Dropbox Business accounts will need an Office 365 (Business, Business Premium, ProPlus, E3 or E4) subscription in order to edit files.
A Microsoft login is also required when opening the Office apps directly to access your Dropbox files there.
I hope this information helps and please let me know if you're still having issues with editing after logging into your Microsoft account on your Android device.

Hi Walter
Another question based on the link you kindly provided...
Is editing MY document from MY PC on MY phone considered co-authoring? Do I need to move my entire Dropbox into a shared folder so I can edit documents on my phone? That seems absurd.
