Converting Dropbox into a Storage Location

Unluckily we don’t have any official protocols to convert Dropbox into a storage point till now. Adding to this, Office 2016 is still in its incubation stage which will be effectively launched in future. There are certain third party tweaks, which will unfortunately supports only earlier versions of MS Office. Bur hopefully Dropbox has given its word to its customers that they will be launching such plug-ins in the very near future.But until for your information I would like to mention a few things. MS Office Online that has web backed variants of Word, Excel and PowerPoint already have a backing from Dropbox as their storage location. You have to open Office Online and in the lower right of the window you will see an option of Add a Place from which you have to select Dropbox. Till the time when desktop variant of MS Office 2016 gets Dropbox support, you are allowed to store those Office files to your Dropbox Folder manually or you can set it as your automatic storage location.This can be done by installing Dropbox client after downloading it from the respective website. After installing you have start any of the Office application. After that you have to select File>> Options. Then you have to head to Save and there you have to opt Browse button, which you will find on the side of Default local file location field. From there you have to search for Dropbox and select it.
