I’m experiencing issues creating Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides in Dropbox

To use Dropbox for Google Workspace, the email you use for your Google account must match the email you use for your Dropbox account. If it doesn’t match, you can change the email address associated with your Dropbox account.

If you experience any issues with the feature:

  • Make sure you’re signed into the Google account that has the same email as your Dropbox account.
  • Try enabling third-party cookies in your browser settings.
