Dropbox StaffWhen viewing your license on the Office Portal, you want to make sure you see 'Office for the web' is listed under the appropriate business license name (Business, Business Premium, ProPlus, E3, E4, or E5).
If you do not see 'Office for the web', you will need to reach out to the administrator of the team's Microsoft account to get that app permission added.
