I have Dropbox installed on 3 computers, desktop A and laptops B and C, all running Windows 10, 64 bit. I use, for preference as it was installed on my first computer, the Lotus SmartSuite Office program, now version 9.8.2 (its last version), which works perfectly in Windows 10 and provides Lotus WordPro, Lotus 1-2-3 Spreadsheet, Lotus Organizer, Lotus Approach &c. I also use, occasionally, various bits of MS Office 365. I can upload files from both Lotus and MS Office, together with pdfs and jpgs, &c, from all three computers onto my Dropbox folders.
But when I open a Lotus file - WordPro or another - in Dropbox on desktop A or laptop B - I get the message
'Can’t load this file type This file type is unsupported here.'
and I have to click to download the file to edit it. All the other non-Lotus files in the folder open without a problem. The odd thing is that when I click to open a Lotus file in the same Dropbox folder on laptop C, it opens first time without my having to download it first.
Can anyone explain this, please?
Thanks in advance,
