      Hi There
      I’m also having the same issue - I use a gmail email address as my Dropbox account, which is part of a business team. Whenever I try to create editable Google docs I am directed to create a Google workspace account - is there any way to create editable Google docs directly in Dropbox if you aren’t signed up to Google workspace? Thankyou!

        Hey JCAndreu - thanks for joining the topic here.

        To cut to the chase, I'm afraid that you'll need to be signed into the Google account that is associated with your Dropbox account to be able to use the features as outlined here.

        Let us know if you have any other questions.
