Hello,

On my IPad, when I go to open a file from my Dropbox in Word, I get the following message:

‘Microsoft Integration would like access to the files and folders of your dropbox. Allow?’

This is obviously a hugely open ended question. It’s asking me to allow access to everything in my Dropbox. It might not actually mean this, but I’m wary of hitting Allow when what it’s asking with this wording is total access.

Can Microsoft clarify what this permission means, please?

Thanks Jay.

Ps it would be good to have the option to only restrict it to one folder if the user is happy with that, however.
Need more support?
Who's talking
