'Can not upload the file' error when attaching from Dropbox to Gmail on Android
When I try to add an attachment from dropbox to a mail in gmail, I receive a message in gmail "can not upload the file". This error occurs only on one smartphone with android 12. If I do the same , with the same dropbox and google account, on an other android phone (android 11 )or an android tablet, there is no problem. Both phones have the same app version of gmailSolved46KViews5likes257CommentsError 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 got is "File could not open. Try refreshing the page". I already tried to refresh the page several times, but it wouldn't work. I even tried to copy the file and open the copy -- but again, to no avail. This happened to my several other Google sheets documents as well. What do you think is happening and what should I do now? I'm afraid that it will affect my other Google documents since I'm using the Google-Dropbox integration quite often. I'd appreciate any help, thanks!Solved21KViews0likes46CommentsUnable to add comments to Google Docs
While working on Google Doc files that I created within Dropbox, I am unable to successfully utilize the "add comments" feature. I am able to insert a comment and type information into the comment box, however when I click the "save" button, I receive the following error message: After clicking the "Reload" button, the page refreshes and the comment is no longer available/did not save properly. Editing within the document is working normally. My internet connection is stable and strong; this happens with multiple documents. Seems like an issue with the integration between Dropbox and Google. Anyone know what is going on and how to fix it?Solved18KViews1like18CommentsI can't open Google Docs in Google Chrome
Hi folks 🙂 Unfortunately, since the latest Google Chrome update, I can't open Google Docs on Dropbox. This is causing lots of daily problems. Every time I try to open one, Google Chrome crashes and I have to force it to close, then open it up again, restore all the tabs and be fast in closing the Google Doc or it will crash again. How can I solve this? Thank you 🙂Solved15KViews0likes10CommentsWhy did Google block Dropbox?

When I try to open a Word file housed on Dropbox using Google Docs, using the Open drop down menu at the upper right, I am directed to the Sign In To Continue screen for Google, but when I hit the Sign In button, the screen blips and kicks me back to the same screen. It won't allow sign in. The Dropbox and Google accounts are linked in Dropbox. I am using the same email for both the Dropbox and Google accounts. This sign in issue happens both when I am logged into Google Docs when I try to open the document and when I am not signed in to Google. The document can be viewed successfully in Dropbox, but if I change the default editing apps setting for Word to Google Docs, the document cannot be viewed and I am redirected to the Sign In page. I am using a Windows machine, Firefox (71.0) as a browser. I've tried changing various cookie settings in Firefox, but that doesn't seem to help.

I followed the Learn more link, which said, "Google editor will no longer work for opening or editing non-Google files in Dropbox. To continue editing these files, an additional Microsoft Office license may be required." What if I do not have a Microsoft Office license? Will another free editor be available in place of Google Docs?Solved8.9KViews0likes12Comments
