Dropbox has announced the expansion of its integration
with Microsoft Office, soon allowing users to create Office
documents within the Dropbox iOS app. This is the next step
in a partnership that began last year between the two
companies and will reportedly release later this month.
While not much information has been officially disclosed on
how the integration will work, it's sensible to assume that
files saved to your Dropbox can be accessed via Office
Online or other various desktop apps. This new integration
will undoubtedly help the partnership begin to compete with
Google Drive and Docs.
Dropbox also recently announced that it's adding a
comment feature that allows users to drop notes on hosted
files, also soon to be available to iOS and web users. While
this tool will help move the company forward in the realm of
productivity, the most notable addition to Dropbox is the
expanding integration with Microsoft Office. It'll be very
interesting to see how it changes a landscape that Google
unequivocally rules.
