    Hey Greg,

      That's a custom integration that Dropbox has with Slack, and not something that one can plug in to generally unfortunately. Apologies I don't have better news for you!

        Ah gotcha.  Custom integration meaning like a Dropbox / Slack collaboration sort of situation?  Is it possible to begin such a relationship with our company (I understand dev forums is probably not the place for this sort of partnership outreach lol, but if this is possible can you direct me to the right place?)
