Dropbox fully integrates with Gmail | News and opinions

Google and Dropbox are working together to stop having to think about where all your files are stored. Simply download the Dropbox for Gmail add-on and everything will be stored in the cloud for easy sharing and less storage limit worries.

If you're a Gmail and Dropbox user, keeping all your files in one place is about to get a lot easier with a new Dropbox add-on for Gmail. [19659004] In March, Dropbox announced a new partnership with Google Cloud to centralize content, secure collaboration, and make communication more efficient. In other words, allow users of Google services to store and share content seamlessly with the help of their Dropbox accounts. The integration of Dropbox with Gmail, which took place today thanks to the launch of a Dropbox add-on for Gmail, was a key part of this success.

Chrome users can already enjoy the Dropbox extension for Gmail, but this new add-on works "cross browser, cross platform" which means you can use your favorite browser and even enjoy it in the Gmail app for Android and (finally) iOS.

The benefits of this integration like Dropbox, is the removal of file size and inbox space, which Google limits to 15GB before you start paying. File sharing can be done simply by sharing a Dropbox link instead of adding an attachment or uploading files to your Google Drive.

It also works in the opposite direction. If you receive an email with attachments, they can be saved in Dropbox rather than deciding where to store them locally or to use disk space. It's no longer necessary to leave Gmail to access Dropbox since most tasks can now be done from the Gmail interface.

If you want to try it, the Dropbox for Gmail The add-on is available for download on G Suite Marketplace. Of the three reviews published so far, two have only awarded the extra five star due to authentication issues or the lack of Dropbox functionality in Firefox. There also seems to be a lack of instructions available to guide you.

In this case, it may be worthwhile to wait a few days to allow Dropbox to resolve the issues before installation.
