Error in opening Google sheets document
Hi,
I'm encountering a problem while using Google sheets that's integrated with Dropbox. It used to be fine, but when I tried to open it today, the page refused to load and the message that I g...
Hi Megan, thanks for replying, I copy the files into the same folder (though error also happens when I copy to elsewhere).
Steps are summarised below so you can see the second error in context. I sent the original issue to support on March 14th, (ticket 21729904) dropbox engineers are working on it but no progress afaik.
Error 1:
- Try to open 'Problem1.gsheet' spreadsheet file
- 'Could not open file, try refreshing the page'
Workaround:
- Rename file to 'Problem1.xlsx', open online, file works
- Close file, rename to .gsheet, open online, file works
Error 2:
- Make a copy of the 'fixed' .gsheet aka 'Problem1-fixed-copy.gsheet'
- 'Could not open file, try refreshing the page'
Essentially the workaround only sorts out individual files, it does not fix the issue with using copies of files. Some people mentioned that the problem applies mostly to copies of 'template' files.
We have been using Google Sheets and Documents within our Dropbox for over a year now, however, recently when we attempt to open older documents or copies of our Google templates (from Finder, the Dropbox app and the internet site) we are directed to a webpage that says "File could not open. Try refreshing the page".
The same error appears on Chrome, Safari and Firefox and refreshing doesn't seem to work. Does anyone else has the issue and, if so, is there a way to resolve it?
