Add Dropbox as a place in Office 365 for Mac OSX

Hello,

 

I'd like to add Dropbox as a place in Office 365 for Mac. I've found these instructions for windows (and here) but the corresponding options don't show up in the Mac version and, unfortunately, I haven't been able to track down any instructions for Mac. Does anyone know how do this? Is it possible?

 

Thanks,

Christopher

    It's almost 2022 and Dropbox hasn't implemented it... ridiculous coming from you guys, really disappointing... Maybe we'll have to migrate to *neDrive or G**gle Drive as soon as possible.

    Guilherme Dutra - it isnt Dropbox thats the issue. Its Microsoft they need to write the code in there own software to do this. Dropbox cannot. Dropbox cannot force another company to put things in its code. 

     

    And think logically here... Microsoft do not want you using Dropbox. They want you on OneDrive. It is not in there business interests to do this

    Unfortunately this doesn't help you if you, like me, would like to have "auto-save" switched on. Then you have to have it added to list of Places.

    This is not a solution. 

    The online version of Microsoft office lacks many of the functions of the desktop version. 

    To date Box, Egnyte, ShareFile, and OpenText Content Cloud all have integration solutions - why does Dropbox not have a solution? Why have you been left behind by you competitors?

    What I find frustrating is that during the sales process I was told repeatedly by Dropbox that this functionality existed.

    Please resolve this asap otherwise we will migrate all our users to another Mac friendly solution.
