A few days ago (around 4/28/2021) the Google Docs integration to Box stopped working for me. I have tired clearing my cache, incognito mode, and a different browser to not avail.

The error I get is this:

1. From Box select New -> Google Doc (or Slide, any Google doc)
2. Enter file name
3. Hit return
4. I get presented with Sign in to continue over and over and over again

Alternatively, you can simple click on a Google Doc and try to Open in Google Doc, same issue.

I am properly logged into Google and tried with a different browser (FireFox) and still get the same error. The file gets created but you cannot edit it in Google Doc.

Any help would be appreciated!

  Thanks France, but I think you missed the part where it was working a few days prior on the same machine. Cookie settings look good.

  Hello,

  I am having the same problem. When I try to edit something with Google Docs I am constantly asked to Sign in to my Google account. Cookie settings are okay. How to resolve this issue?
