DriveOne couldn't open Password protected excel Files on iPhone

[Zamir Halutz]

I started using OneDrive on my Laptop (win7) and iPhone (5S, iOS 8.1.2) after long time of using DropBox. For my surprise, OneDrive on my iPhone can't open password protected Excel Files. I got "The operation couldn't be completed. OfficeImportErrorDomain error 912". So, why DropBox Could and OneDrive couldn't?

The error message you received regarding password-protected Excel files on OneDrive may be due to restrictions with the app's capabilities. Here are some possible reasons for the issue you faced: 1. App Compatibility: OneDrive on iPhone may have limitations when it comes to opening password-protected Excel files compared to other cloud services like Dropbox. The specific app design and features affect its ability to handle certain types of files. 2. Security Protocols: OneDrive may not support opening password-protected Excel files due to security restrictions or authentication issues within the app itself, which are implemented to ensure data security and integrity. 3. File Format Handling: Different cloud services handle file formats in various ways, and some services may have better support for specific file types or features. OneDrive's implementation of Excel file handling on iOS might not fully support password-protected files. 4. Update or Bug: It's possible that the issue is related to a bug or a missing feature in the current version of the OneDrive app for iOS. Updating the app to the latest version or contacting OneDrive support for insights could be beneficial. Since OneDrive has a support team that can offer more specialized assistance, reaching out to them directly through their official channels might provide added clarification on the specific limitations of password-protected Excel files for iPhone users.
