Dropbox app for Jira

As of April 30, 2020, we no longer support the Dropbox app for Jira. After this date, you will no longer be able to link Dropbox files to Jira tasks through the app. Any existing links created through the app will be removed. Your Dropbox files will not be affected by this change.

Add Dropbox files directly to Jira issues with the Dropbox app for Jira. The app integrates Dropbox with Jira and is available to Dropbox customers who also use Jira.
