Not sure I am in the right category but....
I have a google sheets doc that somehow I have saved to my google drive account by mistake. When i look for instructions to move it to Dropbox I keep getting the following instructions:
I can't find the mentioned "..." to access the Activity menu item. What am I doing wrong. I tried a 3rd party app but it doesn't move as google shets. When I try to download it saves as xslx and but I have app script there I want to use and it doesn't apply.
What am i doing wrong??? How can I get it across?
Thanks
Hi @DebraV, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Just to clarify, did you create the Sheets doc on the Dropbox site itself?
This will help me to assist further!

Hi
I created directly in Google Sheets, I had a Dropbox file open and clicked on the sheets icon and it took me to wherever I ended up in
thanks
this is what is on the title part
If you visit the homepage, try clicking the cog icon next to 'All files' and then 'Add from Google Drive'.
Note that any Google doc files would generally be stored on Google servers, for files created on Dropbox, so I'm not certain how your Sheets file would be handled after importing it.

Hi Jay
It comes across as an excel file. I tried to 'open with' google sheets but it is still an xlsz doc with no app script
Thanks for the info, it's possible then that certain Google Sheets features won't work on this file when converted to an Excel file.

I still can access the google sheets doc directly in google sheets but it wont allow me to move or save it to Dropbox.
There is a version in my drive but it wont move over as a google sheets
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.
