Excel Crashes on close - caused by DropBox

MVP

If you ever get this happening to you then suprisingly DROPBOX may be the cause.

It's not Dropbox per se, it's the Dropbox Office Badge, which is intended to integrate Office with Dropbox, so people can collaborate on documents shared on Dropbox. If you disable the Badge, the problem goes away.

Sounds like an issue that should be reported to Answers

Hi Jon,

Yes, I do raise the fact that it is badges and how to turn them off in my article

@Jon Peltier - have you repro'd this? If so, can you tell me how to repro it here - we'll reach out to Dropbox and ask them to fix it.

@Dan Battagin   they do appear to be aware of this at DROPBOX   

 

"Just a quick update. We have been able to reproduce this behaviour and have alerted our engineering team. They are working on identifying a fix. Unfortunately, there is no timeline for it yet. We'll definitely keep you posted!"  - OTOBER 2015

Thanks Wyn.  I was just hoping that we could add a bit more pressure :)
