Google Sheets & Slides crashes with Chrome browser
Hoping someone can help as Dropbox is saying this is a Chrome issue and can't resolve.
My company uses Dropbox for files. I open excel & powerpoint files from dropbox.com to google sheets & slides...

Nancy or @Walter can you please provide support for me on this issue as well?
I had a ticket open last winter on this topic with Walter (Ticket #15635288), but it was never resolved. My business found temporary workarounds to the crashing issue during our busy season, but now really need to find a solution as it is unworkable!
Every time I open a Google Doc or Spreadsheet created in Dropbox, and then try to edit the document, Google Chrome crashes. I've tried most (if not all) of the troubleshooting suggestions. I can't recall if I unlinked and relinked Google -- but could use support doing that.
I'm also having issues with these docs in Safari. The browser there doesn't crash, but there are other glitches.
I've tried calling Dropbox support three times in the last week, with no callback. Please help!
Thanks,
Maggie

4 years agoHey sustainingfarmers, sorry to hear this is still an issue for you.
To disconnect the integration from your account, navigate to your Connected Apps tab and remove it from there.
Once this is done, you can re-connect to your account through the App Center.
Let us know if this improved matters for you, Maggie.

Walter, thanks for the support.
I disconnected Google from my Connected Apps. When I go to the App Center to reconnect, there is no option to connect. Instead, there is only a Learn More button. See the screenshot below.
Please help!

Sorry to jump in here, sustainingfarmers!
If you go to the connected apps page in your account settings, do you see Google as an option there?
- sustainingfarmers4 years agoHelpful | Level 7
Hannah, I appreciate you jumping in!
Google is no longer listed as a connected app. Gmail still is, but that was connected as a separate app.
Can you advise?

I have the same problem.
Chrome is crashing when I try to edit a Google Sheet from Dropbox.
Can't disconnect Google Sheets (as it's not present as something connected), nor connect it (as some others have already pointed out). - sustainingfarmers4 years agoHelpful | Level 7
Hannah I can still open Google docs or spreadsheets from your website or from my Dropbox desktop.
However, they still crash almost immediately after opening. This is debilitating to our work.
Thoughts?
