47 TopicsWhy do I get a "Sorry, we could not find your file. Is it possible it was moved, renamed...?' error?
Error message states "Sorry, we could not find <filename>. Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted?" It has not been moved, renamed or deleted. Not all Excel files are affected but this is not the first time this has happened. I have 3 computers and all of them have this issue. I'm using Office 365 on all 3 computers. I would like to get a response from someone who has had this issue and how it was solved. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Many of my new Word documents are opening as read-only whenever I try and edit them on my iPad or iPhone. This is not happening to all of my recent files. It's not even happening to all the files in that particular folder. I can open some older files in the same folders and they are editable, but some files show up as read-only. I can save a copy of the file in the mobile apps and name it the same as the original and then edit that file, but that's a long workaround. Thanks for the help. [FWIW: I recently (last 4 months) got a new laptop, iPhone, and iPad.]Solved14KViews1like2CommentsCannot Open Word Documents in Dropbox
I am synced to open Dropbox documents in the online-only mode on my Surface Pro since it doesnt have a ton of hard drive memory. That has worked well for several years. Recently, my Surface Pro has been unable to open Word documents stored stored in Dropbox. Instead, I get the "Unspecified Error" message. I can open pdf files stored in Dropbox without a problem. What changed? How do I resolve this? I have updated my Windows and Dropbox apps. Thanks.Solved11KViews2likes7CommentsOnly one tab displaying in spreadsheets stored on Dropbox

Hi All. I have a file that I edited yesterday that is now appearing online as chinese characters. If I select the cell, the correct/English version of the word appears, but not when displayed. All other excel files in my dropbox appear in English as they should. On the app, it appears in English, this is only happening online. To troubleshoot I saved the file from my app, downloaded it to my computer, viewed it in Excel where it showed up in English, deleted the dropbox file, then uploaded the English version from my computer, but it is still showing up with the chinese characters. How do I rectify this and view the file on my computer the way it should be??Solved6.4KViews0likes8Commentscan't open excel files on iphone recently

The description of my problem is a bit long, and I hope you understand all the configurations/problems. PLEASE HELP! I hate it that dropbox has no real integration of onenote, I love both but they don't work together. And now with a new laptop I really have a problem. I just got a new laptop and I use dropbox (this is obligatory, as I have a subscription that I pay for). With my last pc I had onenote-notes in a dropbox folder, so that they were safe in the cloud. Path like c://user/name/dropbox/onenote/name_notebook. And I have used onenote for ages and have A LOT of data in about 10 notebooks. I use it all the time, I need it on my new laptop!!! Now I have the problem how to get the Onenotes to the new laptop. Here I mainly use dropbox as before but I would like to get the notes to onedrive so that I can sync them with my android mobile which is not possible when I have got them in dropbox. Please advise. THANKS! If I can't transfer/copy the onenote notebooks to onedrive please advise how I transfer them onto the new laptop in/with dropbox - I don't get the structure. I know that I can change the path and that I can export but the export. But when I export one notebook into onepkg-file and I click on it on the new pc nothing happens (can't be read, search for app, nothing). Additionally I have old format at my notebooks (sometimes at my old laptop it says "convert into 2010-2013", sometimes "convert into 2007")5KViews0likes3Comments
