Download Excel For Free Online
Christopher Caldera
Hi! I work from home and share an excel file with other employees. We all make edits to the file and save it so others can see. Typically when I open files, I choose to open them on my desktop and not online. However, this file does not give me the option to open it on my desktop. When I click open, it immediately tries to open it through Excel Online. However, the file is too big, so Excel Online can't open it. So now I can't open the file at all. Please help me with this. Thanks!
You will have to work on this file from within your Dropbox Folder @Bowmanh23 (meaning that you'll need to have the desktop app running and this file located within your Dropbox folder's structure) - or else the changes you make won't sync back to our servers and therefore to other linked (to your account) computers or even on the machines of other collaborators.

Well, I logged out and logged back in and it suddenly worked. Not sure why. However, I am new to Dropbox and want to make sure I understand it thoroughly, so I answered the questions below. I think there are still a few tweaks I need to make.
I can download it locally, but it doesn't save to the online version. It just saves to my Mac. I am new to Dropbox and not sure how to save the downloaded version where it will also save to the shared version online. If I download the file and then save it, won't I have to download a different file every week? I don't want to do that if I don't have to.
As far as what is showing on my menu bar, drop box isn't showing up. When I double click it in the Launchpad, it doesn't open. In my finder bar, however, the folders in the drop box file have green checks by them.
Hello,
This morning as I came into work, I saw a note saying my work associate cannot duplicate a tab on excel online, so I've had a bit of a play with it this morning, but stretched my limit of trouble shooting, which is why I'm here as a last resort.
I use microsoft edge on 1 PC and Chrome on another and both PC's are doing the same thing, it doesn't matter if it's a new excel work book or what ever it does the same thing.
On the PC that uses chrome I checked with edge, and the option to duplicate a tab is there, so I don't know what's going on, did microsoft update and remove the duplicate feature from excel online?
I have tried:
- Searching the internet
- Resetting my chrome settings and history
Usually I am fine with excel online but this option has me baffled as I know it's not a faulty file, it can't be someone's used the office 365 application to enable/disable options because it works in a "fresh" browser.
My only guess is microsoft's done an update that doesn't reflect on the "fresh" browser, and if so then that's really poor as my work colleagues NEED that duplicate option as their excel knowledge is very limited.
Thanks for your time on this really silly issue that shouldn't even be an issue, but microsoft be microsoft I guess.
EDIT: I have tried to log-in with a different account and it appears that account the duplicate is back.
I actually have no idea what is going on here, that just confuses me more, what are you doing microsoft?
Edit 2: I can confirm it's account based, new excel files that I make don't have the duplicate feature, I logged into the edge browser and sure enough the duplicate feature doesn't exist, instead it's "copy" and "paste".
Hi @Bendigo_MC , I'm facing the same issue with you as well. You have any idea how to fix the account that has 'Duplicate' function removed? Is there any option to rollback the update in Excel online?
Afraid there is no such option. You may vote for the idea to keep Duplicate on feedback portal Sheet tab menu - let keep both Duplicate and Copy/Paste sheet Community (microsoft.com) or/and add your own feedback.
@A_Hafizi tecnicamente, no tem a opo de reverter funo DUPLICAR. Um suporte do Excel que nossa empresa contactou informou que podemos votar nesta comunidade para ver se a Microsoft inverte esta deciso. Absurdo isso!
I use excel online to work on a spreadsheet from another user's onedrive. I installed the flow add-in to excel online. It had been working fine for months. now it won't let me sign in. It will pop up the sign in window, but will never sign me in. I get no error message.
Well, this isn't a fix. It's a temporary workaround at best.
Replacing Edge by a permanent older version is also a security risk.
Lets cross our fingers and hope that Microsoft will deliver a solution to this problem.
I'm wondering if this feature of Chrome is to blame for the issue? Edge is a Chromium browser as well so it would make sense. Apparently, other applications are experiencing problems related to this "Experimental third-party storage partitioning" as well.
