Hey DieBaum, sorry to jump in here and sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
May I ask if you're signed into your Microsoft account in the Office 365 app on your mobile device?

This is also happening to me. My phone doesn't show updates I make on my computer and I keep getting 'read only' files that I can't edit when I try to update them on my phone manually

Hi dana98501, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Can you clarify your device's OS version and the version of the Dropbox mobile app installed there as well?
Also, how are you editing the file in the first place?

Hi Walter!
Yes, I'm signed in.
These are my files although du to IT-restrictions at work I frequently have to update them on different devices and transfer them by e-mail. Up until yesterday I had no problems caused by that.
