Having more options in the apps we use is a good thing, especially if it helps with securing data and information, or sharing those things when it needs to be shared. Microsoft is adding a bit of functionality to Office Mobile to help with that. Users will be able to access files stored within Dropbox, and save files made with Office directly to Dropbox when they’re finished. The Dropbox mobile app will also now let users edit Office documents from anywhere, and changes will be synced automatically from the mobile app to the desktop client, and vice versa. Dropbox and Microsoft are working together to bring more support and functionality to each company’s important apps. For Microsoft, it’s about adding Dropbox syncing and integration for Office Mobile, and other Office apps as well. With this new support, users will be able to share their Dropbox links right from within Office, thanks to a specific Dropbox link that is created to share the document. Dropbox has confirmed that the new addition to their app and Microsoft’s Office Mobile app will rollout in the next few weeks.
