Hello all

 

I have this issue too (using Safari, latest release)

Hi All, 

 

Was just dealing with this issue and I seem to have found the fix. Essentially, Safari automatically blocks cookies and tracking when you open the google docs link from drop box as it is changing domain - a cross-site tracking. Hence you have to allow to be tracked cross-websites (a setting in preferences).
