Hey Avi K.1, thanks for posting your question and happy Monday!

 

Creating, editing and sharing Google Docs with Dropbox is possible in general, but not directly within Dropbox.

 

The files will be automatically saved in your Google Drive account, and a shortcut (.web file) will be automatically saved in your Dropbox account.

 

You can read more about how the integration works here.

 

Let me know if you have any more questions.
