    • If your Google account does not appear, click Connect a new account. In the dialog box, click Accept and connect to Google. On the Google authorization page, select a Google account. then click Allow. When you start the import process again, your account should be selectable. 
    • In the Select the Google account you want to use for your import section, click the connected Google account that owns the Google Doc.
