As of a recent change, Google docs cannot be stored on Dropbox servers. This article contains more information regarding this matter.

I am really confused Jay. Does this mean I can't save them to Dropbox as a google sheets doc? I have to create the files in excel if I want to save to Dropbox? I have been working on this project for a company that wants to use Dropbox. Today is the first time I have had this experience and i have been working on this for a few weeks. I just spent days getting the action script to work. I was just about to finalise it.  I can't even copy it to another file I still have in Dropbox. Is there a way to transfer action script over?

Its nearly midnight here I am going to have to come back to this tomorrow.

    That's correct, it isn't possible to import any Google docs to Dropbox in their original file format. 

     

    This was already the case even before the recent change that all new Google docs created on Dropbox will reside on Google servers.
