Hi there, 

 

I receive the message when I select "open in Google Sheets" in the dropbox file. I've attached a screenshot. 

 

Thank you,

Sabrina

    Hi Megan, 

     

    Thanks for the link - it says I have an expired "Dropbox Business Standard" account. Do I have to pay for an account in order to edit in google sheets? Are there no free plans available? 

     

    Thanks,

    Sabrina

    Hi sabrinad, have you tried editing your documents, using a different browser? 

     

    Could you please take a look at this Help Center article and let me know if it helps improve matters at all?

    Hi there, 

     

    Yes I've tried different browsers and I get the same message. I've checked and done everything the article suggests.

     

    Thanks,

    Sabrina

    Hi sabrinad, you mentioned earlier that you have an expired Business plan. 

     

    Do you see any prompts perhaps about either upgrading to Business or cancelling and reverting back to a personal account? Can you give it a go?
