Microsoft would rather have you use its built-in SkyDrive app, which offers 7GB of storage on a new account, or 25GB if you were grandfathered in.
When it posts to Facebook, your friends can click the message and download it to their computer.Īnd you’re able to use the Windows 8 / RT Search feature to locate files in Dropbox. You can select an icon for the file or send it without an image. It shares a custom message you type in and a link to the file. Here’s an example of sharing an audio file from the Dropbox Public folder to Facebook via the People app. It allows you to use the Share feature to share files and folders with others using built-in apps like Mail and People and share to other apps you have installed on your system.
It does integrate with some Windows 8 and RT features. Pictures open in Dropbox itself, not the Photo app. On Windows 8, media files will open in the default program you set. Supported music and video files will open in the Xbox Music or Video app on Windows RT. The ability to view apps side-by-side makes working in Dropbox and Office docs a breeze. Word, Excel, and other MS Office files will open in Office 2013 on the desktop. Just tap any one of them to browse through the files. Then enter your security code if you have Two-Step Verification enabled.Īfter logging in, you’re presented with a list of the folders in your account. The first time you launch it, you’ll need to log in to your Dropbox account. I tested it out on my Microsoft Surface with Windows RT.
