Excel collaboration with same account on multiple devices

puscasadi

Hello. We have one account with the maximum devices - 3. And we want to use the excel dropbox badge to turn red with lock when another one is editing the file. It doesn't work right now, we are editing at the same time from 2 different devices on same account and no lock is shown to collaborate.

Yes of course, that's what shared file/folder is for. 😉 Just one clarification, you can't share the entire Dropbox folder (only subfolders - which is usually enough - just to avoid confusion)! Using link you can't keep the content in automatic sync, so links are unusable in your case. They are convenient way to share your work to somebody needing read only access (without engaging Dropbox storage and even without needed Dropbox account).

Hope this helps.
