Hi, for me it doesn't behave the same way. When i choose the xlsx file to open in Dropbox in the safari browser it first tells me to allow cookies for google sheets.

i do so, then it opens the file, everything looks fine, it keeps loading and at a certain point it tells me it had a problem and next time when i ask him to open the file it keeps telling me t open my google session and nothing else happens. So annoying!

Any idea?

Dropbox team, please create the feature where a user can create a Google Doc when you click on the “create” button within the mobile app on an iPad. It is extremely frustrating to have to log in using safari to create a Google Doc on an iPad when you already have an app installed! It’s crazy that you can do it for Excel but not the google software.

    Hi Tall_English2021, if you wish, you can suggest this change for others to vote on, so the dev team can look into this in future!
