Is it possible to disable Google suite in Dropbox?

Having the ability to open/create all docs in Google Suite or Microsoft Office is great, but often messes up formatting as people open/edit in different suites depending on their preference. Is there a way to force a whole organisation to only have the Microsoft Office (word, powerpoint, excel) functionality and not Google Suite (docs, slides, sheets)?

    Hi Grace123, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Are you currently on a Dropbox Business team? If so, are you the admin of the team?

     

    This feature is available for Business plans for them to open apps on the site.

     

    If you need any further assistance, please let me know!

      Jay, 

       

      I want to disable the google suite option from documents in Dropbox and force my organization to only use the Microsoft Office online versions. The link you added before didn't have the answer for this. Any additional guidance I could use? 
      P.S: I have a Bussiness team account, I'm not the admin but can get the admin to make changes.

        Hey jhcorreal10, sorry to jump in. 

         

        Can you please go to this page, and let me know what options you see next to your Word/Excel/Power Point files? How are they set to open at the moment, and what other options you see in the dropdown menu?
