Any update? It is mind-boggling that DropBox is, in essence, not fully compatible with OSX.  I had previously used Office 365 on a Dell PC and synced to my mobile devices.  Now that I upgraded to an iMac desktop I have lost functionality and cannot use AutoSave for any Office work but instead have to save locally (and often) and then add the files to a preexisting DB folder?  That's nuts.

Hi Rover3d, as this is a restriction to the Office app itself, this is unrelated to Dropbox itself.

 

It you're interested in this feature, I'd recommend contacting Microsoft, as it is their product which no longer allows Dropbox to be added as a place.

 

Hope this helps to clarify matters!
