So with Dropbox only supporting links for Google Docs and Sheets why pay for the platform at all? If we are constantly going to be switching between DB and Drive and we have a Drive account with massive storage, why not just stay in Drive only? I don't understand the logic here. Yes, it's a pain to switch everything over but after we do the switch we'll have all files types in one place instead of two. What's the reason for this change?

    Hi UserDB, let's jump right into this! 

     

    This is the case, if you're using a Business account, not an individual one. 

     

    You'd need a Google paid plan- Google Workspace, to integrate both, since Google has that requirement. I'll forward your feedback to the appropriate areas so we can continue to improve.

     

    I hope this helps!
