Dropbox requiring google workspace to edit
We have a contractor who is unable to access a google sheet for Dropbox. When they click the link, they are redirected to this page. They do have gmail and are logged in. No one else is having this i...
Hi Hannah, I figured it out. The issue was using Duck Duck Go. While I've been using DDG for some time, they must have updated their software about a week ago, and something in the update was stopping data from communicating between Dropbox and Google Workspace appropriately. I turned off the DDG browser, and then the connection worked again. So far, so good!

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey Angela Peacor, sorry to see you're having trouble with this.
Have you tried clearing the cache on your browsers, to see if that helps?

I have this problem using Chrome. I'm caught in an endless loop: I have both G Workspace and Business Dropbox but cannot connect Mac oS12.4 to blame? Solution?

Hey killianadv, I’m sorry to hear you’re having the same issue.
Just to clarify, are you being asked to create an account with Google Workspace or are you being asked to sign in to your existing account?
Do you mind sending over a screenshot of what you see, so that I can take a look?
Thanks!
I am having this same issue. Here's a screenshot of the message. I am logged into Dropbox and Google with the same email, which is my work email. We have a Google Workspace account (and I'm an admin on both that and our Dropbox account). No one else at my company (all the same domain name, using the same Dropbox and GSuite accounts) is having this issue except me. I am on Firefox, but it looks like people are having this issue on Chrome and other browsers too. When I click "sign in" or "Return to Dropbox" the same page reloads. Would love some help on this! Thanks.
Thanks for the pointer. I didn't want to disable DuckDuckGo completely, so I figured out that you can add exceptions for dropox.com and docs.google.com and it works fine. Figured I would add that here in case anyone else is having this issue.
