Adding Google Doc files to Dropbox Folder

I love this feature but it actually makes a copy of the document that is on Google Drive, which risks having people add edits in different places. Is there anyway to avoid this? Even if there was just an option to open the link to Google Docs from Dropbox. The only way to avoid this, it seems is to create the file in Dropbox itself first — rather than Google Docs. 

  • Hi sarahlauden, thanks for messaging the Community.

     

    Could you clarify what you're referring to regarding making a copy of the file on Google Drive?

     

    Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!

    Thanks for the info. This should be expected behavior, since you are copying the files from Google Drive into your Dropbox account, and not mirroring them.

    Ideally files uploaded to Dropbox from Google Drive would be mirrored.
