The Dropbox badge appears on any Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, or Excel file saved in Dropbox. The badge gives you easy access to some of Dropbox’s best features:
- Instantly share the file you’re working on by clicking Share a link, and the link will automatically be copied to your clipboard. Simply paste the link in an email, chat, or elsewhere to send that file securely to anyone.
- Ask for feedback or contributions on a file by commenting on the file. Click Comment to comment on the file from the Dropbox website.
- View file history to go back in time and find content you’ve already changed or deleted. You can undo changes and restore a previous version of the file.
- Move the badge to wherever you want it to be. You can click and drag the badge anywhere along the border of your files.
- Work better on Microsoft Office files. The badge currently supports Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, on both Mac and Windows devices. For Windows, it supports 2007, 2010, and 2013 Office files. For Mac, it supports 2011 Office files.
Please note: For files saved in Compatibility Mode (.xls, .ppt, .doc), the Dropbox badge will not show when another person is viewing the file and it won’t prompt you to update to the latest version of the file. To ensure the badge is reporting accurately, please use Save As to save files in a non-Compatibility Mode file format (.xlsx, .pptx, .docx).
Also note that timing and exact functionality of these features may change from what’s shared here, and Dropbox does not provide warranties on the performance of these features.
