Today Microsoft and Dropbox jointly announced a partnership that will enable Office users to access their Dropbox files within the Office mobile apps.
The integration makes quite a bit of sense for Dropbox — apparently the company hosts “over 35 billion Office documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.” This deal also shows how eager Microsoft is to support third-party services, and it may suggest that Microsoft’s OneDrive online file storage service isn’t winning over new users quickly enough.
