Work on a file in another app, and once you’re done, it will be saved back to Dropbox. Plus, you’ll get notifications when apps save edited copies of your files or someone’s added an eSignature. So when you need to find your work again later on, you’ll save precious time and enjoy a better user experience.

Dropbox Extensions allow you to seamlessly perform actions in your favorite apps, right from Dropbox.
Whether that’s publishing a video, adding files to emails and chats, sending a file for eSignature, and more—you can do it all without ever leaving your Dropbox cloud storage.

Dropbox Extensions are applications already integrated with Dropbox, so they’re automatically available for you to use. You’ll find the Open with menu on dropbox.com when you hover over your PDFs, videos, image files, Microsoft Office documents, and DWG files. When you choose to open a file with an integrated partner application, you’ll be asked to complete a one-time authorization to connect your Dropbox account.
