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!

    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.

      Hi Jay

      It comes across as an excel file. I tried to 'open with' google sheets but it is still an xlsz doc with no app script

        Thanks for the info, it's possible then that certain Google Sheets features won't work on this file when converted to an Excel file.
