gsheet I created directly from Dropbox for web now giving me a 403 error after a cache clear

Browser: Firefox for Mac

 

I created google spreadsheets directly from a Dropbox folder on the web interface.

About a day later I had to clear my browser cache of cookies and logins. Since then, though I've logged back in to google and dropbox, whenever I try to open the gsheets, I get a 403 error from google.

I've tried in incognito/private browsing on Firefox with the same result.

 

When I try a different browser (Safari) it works.

 

I've tried clearing the cache and logging in to google and dropbox again, with the same 403 error.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hey edoyle, thanks for letting us know about this. 

     

    Can you actually send us a screenshot of the error message on Firefox and how the sheet looks on Safari?

     

    Does it work on other browsers as well?

     

    Thanks in advance.
