User Case: Can I Add Dropbox to Office 365?

Microsoft Office's cloud file-sharing services are a great relief in the period of big data. Cloud services like OneDrive and OneDrive for Business are essential for all Microsoft Office apps. But Microsoft Office 365 didn’t support other cloud services like Dropbox before. And now, this has been changed. You can simply add your Dropbox to Office 365 with just a little effort followed by the relatively simple steps below.

Why Add Dropbox to Microsoft Office 365?

With Dropbox, you can store and sync files online to all your devices, and share Dropbox files easily with others. Even though OneDrive is so popular, Dropbox still has some distinct advantages over it, especially for versioning control and data security.

On the other hand, Microsoft Office 365 is a complete office suite for local applications or online services. It offers all standard office productivity services such as Excel, Word, PowerPoint, SharePoint, Azure, and more.

One of the advantages of Dropbox is its great collaboration ability with third-party apps. This allows Dropbox and Microsoft to enhance team productivity with seamless desktop, mobile, and web integration. Using Dropbox with Office 365 can help users view, edit, comment, and share Office 365 files without the limits of time and place. Co-workers can even edit the same file at the same time.
