New Dropbox + Microsoft 365 Integrations: Seamless Collaboration for Teams


In a world where remote work has become the norm, the ability to collaborate seamlessly and securely is more critical than ever. Dropbox, a leader in cloud storage and collaboration solutions, has introduced a suite of new features designed to bolster team efficiency, security, and ease of use, no matter where they are located.





"With real-time co-authoring, we're solving the number one request from our customers."

Harshal Patil, Senior Product Manager at Microsoft


"Collaboration should be as seamless as possible," notes Harshal Patil. "The integration through the Cloud Storage Partner Program allows Dropbox to create a more cohesive experience for users across both platforms, addressing the evolving needs of our customers."


Drew Houston, Co-Founder and CEO of Dropbox


Drew Houston emphasizes the strategic importance of these updates: "Our goal is to empower teams to focus on meaningful work without the clutter. The advancements in AI and machine learning are key to automating routine tasks, boosting productivity, and freeing up mental space for our users."


Real-Time Co-Authoring: No More Conflicting Copies


One of the biggest requests we've heard from customers is the ability to work together on Microsoft files in real-time. Well, Dropbox was listening, and now delivering! With new real-time co-authoring feature, you can edit Microsoft desktop files simultaneously with your teammates, all within Dropbox.


Always Know Who's Working on What


Collaboration is all about transparency, right? That's why Dropbox has made sure that you can see who's in the document and where they're editing in real-time. No more guessing games or wondering if someone's already made changes to a particular section.



You'll always know that you're working on the latest version of the file, so you can focus on getting things done instead of worrying about version control.


Dropbox Integration with Microsoft Teams


Many of you are using Microsoft Teams for your day-to-day communication and collaboration. So now you can leverage Dropbox right in the Teams app!


With the new Teams experience, you can access, share, upload, and preview Dropbox content without ever leaving Teams. It's like having your Dropbox files at your fingertips, no matter where you are in the Teams interface.



Copilot: Your AI-Powered Productivity Buddy





Dropbox is also integrating Copilot, an AI-powered assistant that can help you get answers to your questions about Dropbox content right within Teams. Need to find a specific file or piece of information? Just ask Copilot, and it'll help you out.


Copilot isn't just a question-answering machine. It can also turn your Dropbox files into beautiful Microsoft presentations in a snap. Imagine being able to create a polished slide deck from your existing content without spending hours on formatting and design. That's the power of Copilot!
