Hi hyunoklee82, thanks for messaging the Community.

 

As the Google integration will no longer work in the near future, are you able to create and edit Office files natively on your computer?

 

Are you able to edit Office files directly via the Dropbox site on Office Online?

 

This will help me to assist further!

    Right now I have Pages/Numbers available on my Mac. I'm not really wanting to download, edit, export and re-upload when I want to make a small edit. It just seems like alot of work. And I'm not sure what the Office online thing is - is this a web version of Microsoft Office? I've been using MacOS for so long, and have not had to address this before.

      Hey hyunoklee82 - sorry to jump in here, but I just wanted to mention that in this case you can move your Google files over to Google Drive or converting them to other, more suitable for your team, formats. 

       

      You can find more information here.

        I'm not really in a position to make that decision - I'm not the admin. These are files that have been shared with me, and there is so much info in that DropBox account that it would be a large undertaking for them to shift to Google Drive. I'm the outlier - so I'm trying to find a workaround.
