Hey Mon0600, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community!
Can you let me know what happens when you try to open, and edit your Google Docs via Dropbox? Do you get any errors?

Hi Mon0600, are you definitely signed into a Google account with the same email as your Dropbox email?
Can you send me a screenshot of the error message you're receiving, please?

I am also experiencing this issue. I cleared my cookies and cache. I checked any chrome extensions. I am signed in using my google account.

I'm having exactly the same issue.
I was completely find until yesterday and now nothing will help get access to my own files.
I am logged into both DB and my gmail, both with the same email.
