I'm sure DropBox doesn't need any advice from me, but it sure would be nice -- and presumably increase sales -- if there were an easy way to access DropBox files in FileMaker Pro (which has many, many users) just as there already is in Microsoft Word. I'm sure someone at DropBox could come up with the code in a few hours or minutes, and it would create a huge potential market for people who manage terabytes upon terabytes of files using FileMaker Pro. Just sayin'.  : )

    My pleasure. IMHO, DropBox is far superior to other options (e.g., Box, Google Drive and OneDrive). It's easy to use, synchronizes files quickly and smoothly, and the "rewind" feature is terrific.
