PC and Mac users editing same files thru Google

Question

After March 1, the Google integration will no longer work. I am part of a team that works remotely, and they are on PC and I'm using Mac. Is there is a better workaround out there that will prevent me from downloading the file from DropBox, editing, then exporting from Pages/Numbers to Office files, and then re-uploading to DropBox?

There are lots of places for mistakes here - formatting, compatibility, not being able to access the new files.....help!

In that case, I'll leave this thread open for any use that might be interested in sharing their own thoughts or workarounds @hyunoklee82

Let us know if you have anything else to ask in the meantime.

I'm not really in a position to make that decision - I'm not the admin. These are files that have been shared with me, and there is so much info in that DropBox account that it would be a large undertaking for them to shift to Google Drive. I'm the outlier - so I'm trying to find a workaround.

Hey @hyunoklee82 - sorry to jump in here, but I just wanted to mention that in this case you can move your Google files over to Google Drive or converting them to other, more suitable for your team, formats.

You can find more information here.
