Microsoft Office Sync with Drop Box

Microsoft Office apps will sync right to your Dropbox account:

Dropbox just became an excellent place to store your Microsoft Office files.

The two companies announced a partnership on Tuesday that will allow Microsoft Office apps to sync directly to your Dropbox account, speeding up collaboration and editing.

After adding your Dropbox account to Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint, you can navigate folders and files on Dropbox to view and edit in the native Office apps, Microsoft wrote in a blog post. The company added it will be updating its Office apps for iPad, iPhone and Android with the new feature "in the coming weeks."

On the Dropbox side, users can also edit Office documents, including Word, Excel and Powerpoint files, from within the Dropbox app on iOS and Android. The company also announced it will finally release an app for Windows phones and tablets in the next few months.

The partnership isn't confined to mobile, though; Dropbox integration will be coming to Office's web apps sometime in 2015.

Microsoft and Dropbox have teamed up for tighter integration previously. Earlier this year, Dropbox revealed Project Harmony, a plan to bring collaborative real-time editing features to Microsoft Office documents for Dropbox's business users. The company promised the feature would roll out in the "coming months" in July, but hasn't revealed a specific timeline.
