Easily track down work and get edit notifications

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.

Frequently asked questions

Dropbox Extensions are third-party partner integrations that let you work with your content, directly from your Dropbox account. With Extensions, users can initiate workflows across popular content types – including DWG, PDF, Microsoft Word, image and multimedia files – and compatible partner applications from category-leading tools.

With these integrations, you’re able to launch actions such as file editing, eSignature, video annotation and electronic faxing. Once you’re done working, your files will be saved back to Dropbox, so everything stays organised, in sync and in one place.

Anyone on Dropbox Basic, Plus and Professional, and most Dropbox team members can start using Extensions today. Dropbox teams with 500 or more team members should contact their customer success manager, or get in touch with us.

While Extensions support all Dropbox languages, some partner applications might not currently support your language. Stay tuned as partners continue to incorporate more languages. 

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 authorisation to connect your Dropbox account.
