85 TopicsError 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!Solved21KViews0likes46CommentsWhy do I need a license to edit Word and Excel files now?
So this just happened today. I can't create new Word or Excel files, nor can I edit existing ones. There is now a paywall that says I need a commercial Office 365 version. Um what? Working for an org that has a number of remote colleagues, we rely on being able to share and collaborate on our in-progress work. Having to pay for an essential embedded program on top of a subscription, without any warning, is not cool.18KViews3likes93CommentsI 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 🙂Solved15KViews0likes10CommentsMicrosoft office online not opening files

Hello all - I have a Google Sheet that i created several months ago. I have been using it (updates) several times a week. Today, I am no longer able to open the google sheet. I keep being directed to a page with this: Sign in to continue You need a Google account to access Docs, Sheets, or Slides Please make sure third-party cookies are enabled. Learn more Sign inCreate Google account I am signed into my Google account and i am able to open all other files, but suddenly not this one. I even cleared the cache/cookies and still it doesn't work. Any suggestions or help are welcome! thank you Update: I just checked another Google document and I cannot open that one either. It is Doc format. I can open up documents I created as Word Doc, but not Google Doc or Google Sheets. These are important docs for me. I hope i can recover them.Solved11KViews0likes36CommentsDropbox Passwords app does not send notifications to allow new device
Trying to log into my Dropbox passwords app….will not send notification to any device or computer to allow log in. Something glitched in their system the other day. Logged me out of all my account. I now cannot log back in. I can log into Dropbox, but not Dropbox passwords. Notifications to allow access to Dropbox passwords is not working. No way to log back into my passwords account. Won’t allow me to log into Dropbox passwords via desktop either….so frustrating!!11KViews1like67CommentsGoogle Docs + Safari - not working
I'm trying to use Google Docs with Dropbox and I'm having issues with Safari. I've created a doc, but when I go to edit it, Safari says: "Google Sheets needs access Google Sheets needs to authenticate your session. Please allow cookie access for Google Sheets by clicking here. Learn more to allow access to third-party cookies." So I click the "here" link to allow cookies, but then I get the following message: "Cookie access failed Without cookie access, Google Sheets cannot authenticate your session. Please allow access to continue to Google Sheets by clickinghere." Clicking "here" in this case does nothing. Using Chrome, everything works fine, but I'm stuck with these errors on Safari. There's no 3rd party cookies setting I can see in Safari settings either (I'm on 10.14.5). Any clues as to how to get this working with Sarafi?10KViews0likes40Comments
