Hey TrustNordisk, welcome to our Community!

I'm assuming that your Google account is using the same email as your Dropbox account, right? That's necessary in order to create Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides in Dropbox.

Have you tried an entirely different browser, just to see if you get the same results there? If not, would you mind giving it a go?

Keep me posted!

    Hi Megan 

    Thank you. And yes that's correct. 

    I've tried in Safari and that didn't work either. I also just noticed that I can copy a google document, but I can't make a new one.
