Is there a way to make Dropbox a source for Copilot?

Is there a way to make Dropbox a source for Copilot? I mean not just use Dropbox half way inside Teams, but a data source like one drive etc?

    Hey Kave, thanks for posting here! 

     

    On our end, we don't have much info about this. Do you use an API on your end, or no? 

     

    I think this would be the most helpful route. 

     

    Also, I'd suggest you reach out to Microsoft or Copilot and ask specific details on their end too. In any case, I'm going to leave this discussion open, so that any of our users can chime in and share their thoughts, and knowledge too. 

     

    Thanks a bunch!

    Are you based in the USA? Its only available there at present, and, not rolled out to everybody who requests. As and when/if you are enrolled you'd be informed. 

     

    There is no guarantee that requesting enrolment means you will be enrolled.

    I am in the office beta, I dont see it as a good alternative to One drive stored files in Teams. The while idea with Teams and file provider is to be able to edit files inside Teams. As it is now you are sent away to Excel online via the web browser so not worth the hassle.
