Improve Google Sheets Functionality

Improve Google Sheets Functionality

I love the Google Sheets integration but there are some functions that Dropbox's version does not have. The largest one I've noticed is being unable to import .csv and .xlsx files into your worksheet. I use that function in Google Drive to combine spreadsheets and add client feedback into a working spreadsheet, it would be great to only need one system (Dropbox) vs. Dropbox and Google Drive. Another issue I've run in to is when I copy a sheet from one location to another in Dropbox the formatting does not copy over so I have to open the copied file and update the formatting.

Echoing this request -- essentially I would expect total parity with actual Google Sheets/Docs functionality, else it feels like a crippled product in exchange for better file organization/document governance.

 

The missing function that is slowing down our workflow is the apparent inability to link directly to a specific tab within a Dropbox Google Sheet. If we share and follow a link with the "gid=xxxxxxx" URL parameter denoting a specific tab, it is simply removed on load and the user is dumped onto the first tab of the document. Is this a known limitation, or is there possibly some workaround or way to enable this functionality?
