Dropbox add-on for Gmail

Dropbox add-on for Gmail
The Dropbox add-on for Gmail will allow users to... 

“view, store, and share any file—from the smallest doc to the largest video—without leaving their inbox.”

Dropbox suggests that this will allow users to...

• “stop worrying about file size or inbox space,” 
• “eliminate distractions i.e. no more “jumping back and forth between apps,” and
• “keep all their work in one place”.

Once installed, the Dropbox add-on for Gmail resides on the right-hand side of a users inbox, next to Calendar, Keep, and Tasks.

Clicking on the Dropbox icon (It appears when users open an email) will make the app scan their current email thread for attachments, and offer contextual information on what it finds.

Users will then be able to store those files in their Dropbox, and they’ll be available across the different browsers and platforms they use.

NOTE: Later this year Dropbox will also be adding the option to share files with others from right within a users Gmail inbox.
