A few weeks back, Dropbox promised Office integration coming to its Android and iOS apps, along with releasing a Windows Phone version of the app. Well, it has fulfilled first part of the promise and the Android and iOS apps now get Office integration. You can now open Office files saved on Dropbox from within the app. While seeing these apps, you’ll see a new edit button that will take you to the appropriate Office app to edit the file. Once finished, you’ll be able to save the file back on Dropbox storage.
While there are no new updates for the Android and iOS versions of Dropbox, the company claims that the new feature is now available. We’re assuming they were integrated in the app with the most recent updates and Dropbox has simply turned on the switch. Make sure you have the latest version of the app though.
