Google Docs + Safari - not working
I'm trying to use Google Docs with Dropbox and I'm having issues with Safari.
I've created a doc, but when I go to edit it, Safari says:

Can confirm. Not working for me on Safari 12.1.1
Same issue as above.
Same email used for both accounts.
Private mode has been tested.
Clearing cache has been tested.
Problem persists.

7 years agoHello there Willy_Warbucks,
From the version of Safari that you mentioned, could you check to see if there are any pending updates to see if that will help with the issue you're having?
From what the OP quoted about the error they received, are you able to click the option to "Learn more to allow access to third-party cookies"? If so and you receive another error, would you mind sending along a screenshot of that (excluding any personal info)?
Finally, can you let me know if the issue persists when you're using another web browser or if this is isolated just to Safari?
Let me know what you find and we'll go from there - thanks!

Someone on my team is having this same issue and none of these fix the problem. Was there another solution?

I'm having the same issue. Has there been a resolution? Using the latest updated version of Safari, cleared cache, and tried in private mode. I get a message that I must be signed into Google docs in order to use sheets. (Despite already being signed into google in browser). I sign in, and then it just takes me back to a Google page that says 'Sign in to continue'. When I click on Sign In, it seems like it is about to open a new page, but then simply takes me back to the page on 'Sign In to Continue'. I keep clicking on Sign In, and it keeps taking me back to the same page telling me to sign in.

Hey inthemoment, thanks for joining the discussion!
There's a few things I'd like to check with you to see if everything is set up correctly.
Can you please check your connected apps page here, to see if your Google account is showing as connected there?
Also, is this the same email that is associated with your Dropbox account? The emails on both the Dropbox and Google accounts need to match for the integration to work.
Finally, apologies for the very delayed reply fibershedmari, are you still having trouble with this?
Let me know and we'll go from there!

Hello Daphne, I`m exactly in the same point as @inthemoment. I keep clicking on Sign In, and it keeps taking me back to the same page telling me to sign in. I`ve accessed your link and google account is showing connected. I`ve tried all the sugestions you mentioned above and it didn`t work. i`ve tried uninstalling and re-installing dropbox app, but didn`t work either. It doesn`t happen in chrome, only in safari.
Is there any solution?

Same here. Firefox gives me a link to click on to approve access, then gives me another link that does nothing. Chrome asks me to sign in with my Goodle account over and over again. Seems like something happened, either with Google or Dropbox, over the last few days, I wasn't javing this issue last week.

Hey peeps, thanks for joining us here!
Would you mind if I reached out to the email linked with your profile rf7, so that we can do some further investigation into this? Through our Support channel I'll be able to have a better look into this with you.
Peter R.42, would you mind just trying an incognito window to see if there is any change in behaviour there? Also, can you try clearing the browser cache and trying again?
Are the accounts that you're signed into via Dropbox and Google under the same email address?
Keep me posted all!
- Peter R.426 years agoHelpful | Level 7
So today:
1. After clearing cache, everything is fine in Firefox;
2. Chrome works fine in incognito mode, but in regular mode it keeps giving me a google sign-in page (even after clearing cache). I don't really use Chrome much so I can live with this.
I hope other users find a solution so easily.
Thanks!

No problem for being in touch through the email. I`m still having the problem and I`m very interested in solving it. Thanks

Hey peeps, I hope you're all having a good day so far!
Thanks for your update Peter R.42. If the integration is working okay through the incognito window, then it suggests that one of your browser extensions is interfering.
Perhaps you can try disabling them one by one until there is any change in the behaviour to see if you can isolate the cause within Chrome? That's if you'd like to of course!
rf7, I've reached out to your email. Please just check your inbox when you have a moment and we can go from there.
Thanks!
