Hi @KOMA,
Passing on the answers to your questions below:
Following on from the template question. If we want to use a file as a template, what is the workflow to ensure the copied file shows up on dropbox with its own independent link?
Links are just links. We don't do anything special with template files. A file derivative of the template file will need a separate link.
If I make a copy of an existing file from within the google editor, will this automatically create an associated link on dropbox?
Nothing special happens. We do not automatically create an associated link.
If I recreate my folder structure on google drive to organize the files, (at the primary level this is 78 folders), is there a way to ensure that newly created files (via dropbox) will be stored within them?
When creating new files, you can specify the location in GDrive. This will be manual.
Regards,
Ben
Hi @susiehack, have you tried completing the Get started steps?
You wouldn't need to upgrade if you don't want to, and we certainly wouldn't make you upgrade. If you could send us any screenshots of the message you get, or the prompt you originally followed, that'd be lovely.

Hey @susiehack, sorry to jump in here, but could you clarify which instructions are confusing you exactly?

Hi @susiehack, is it possible that the email you're receiving is simply a notice that your Dropbox account is full, instead of asking you to migrate?

No, It is asking me to migrate.
Can you send us a couple of screenshot of the prompts/emails you're getting so that we can make sure we're on the same page @susiehack ?
Here's the icon you need to click in order to attach screenshots in your reply:

This option is only available on a computer and not a phone. I can send you a document of screenshots I took.
