can't save files from Office365-app to Dropbox - supposedly write protected
Hello there! Starting yesterday all of a sudden I can't save files to my Dropbox via the Office 365-app anymore. I get a message telling me that the file is write protected, which it isn't. It tel...
I have exactly the same problem on Android (phone and tablet). I could send identical screenshot to those in this thread.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Dropbox, although it was already the latest version.

I have this feeling that the problem happened once before then just resolved itself, so perhaps there has been some unforeseen change in an update.
Further update.

I can save the files to OneDrive without any problems.
Still doesn't work in Dropbox....
I need Dropbox though due to regulations at work.

Hey everyone.
After looking into this, we believe that this is an issue with the Office 365 app, rather than Dropbox.
We suggest you contact Microsoft Support for more info and a resolution.
Once you have more info from Microsoft, please keep us updated.
Thanks.
