Please post a screenshot of the freezing screen, for me to understand exactly where the problem is.
Let's troubleshoot some more on your browser. :gear:
- Try following the same steps in an incognito window/private browsing mode. Firefox incognito. :sunglasses:
- Clear your browser's cache.
- Restore your browser to its default settings and disable any browser plugins.
- Try another browser to see if you get the same behavior.
Keep me posted!

Here's the screen shot, Fiona. This is where I end up after selecting Google Docs from the Open dropdown menu in the upper right when viewing the document in Dropbox I want to edit.
I tried getting into Dropbox and accessing the document incognito. Logged in to Dropbox. Called up the document. Selected open in Google Docs from dropdown menu. I was sent to the usual login page (image above), but this time when I clicked on Sign In, the Google login for user name and then password came up. After I entered the password, however, it kicked me back to the login screen copied above.
Cleared the Firefox cache. Same thing as with accessing things incognito. The Sign In button worked, but filling in user name and password brought me back to the screen copied above. If I try to Sign In again, the screen blips but stays on the same page.
