Where do find "Activity" and the "..." to import from Google Drive?

Not sure I am in the right category but....

I have a google sheets doc that somehow I have saved to my google drive account by mistake. When i look for instructions to move it to Dropbox I keep getting the following instructions:

I can't find the mentioned "..." to access the Activity menu item. What am I doing wrong. I tried a 3rd party app but it doesn't move as google shets. When I try to download it saves as xslx and but I have app script there I want to use and it doesn't apply.

What am i doing wrong??? How can I get it across?

 

Thanks

    Hi DebraV, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Just to clarify, did you create the Sheets doc on the Dropbox site itself?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

      Hi

      I created directly in Google Sheets, I had a Dropbox file open and clicked on the sheets icon and it took me to wherever I ended up in

      thanks

        If you visit the homepage, try clicking the cog icon next to 'All files' and then 'Add from Google Drive'.

         

        Note that any Google doc files would generally be stored on Google servers, for files created on Dropbox, so I'm not certain how your Sheets file would be handled after importing it.

    Since March 1, our office's productivity has plummeted.  Please make up with Google and allow us to open our dropbox files in the Google workspace.  Links no longer work, formatting is completely off and our changes aren't being saved.  This compatability should be easy. Please restore it.
