We always love being able to share new Dropbox updates with you, so here are some improvements you might be interested in, including email updates, Backup news and improved search within Dropbox! 

Email to Dropbox is ready to use for business now too

Email to Dropbox allows you and your trusted contacts to forward email attachments directly to your Dropbox account using a unique email address - that means everything sent to that email address is safe and secure in your account, without having to download or upload your files one by one.

Quickly save your email attachments—like images and PDFs—directly to your Dropbox account so they are safely stored and easy to find when you need them. Perfect for saving you time, which can help you to keep your work-life balance in check! 

• Reduce the steps needed to save your email attachments in Dropbox—quickly set up your unique and secure email address within seconds and simply forward email attachments directly to your Dropbox account 
• Keep confidential files safe by having trusted clients and partners send sensitive documents directly to Dropbox, where you can securely store them and control access and permissions.
• Find your content faster by centralizing your email attachments alongside the rest of your content within Dropbox, so you don’t have to search across multiple places to find what you need

Dropbox Backup updates

You’ve heard us mention (obsess over) Dropbox Backup, and we’re glad to share an update. Now, with the Dropbox Backup plan, you can back up unlimited files on one external drive, in addition to one computer.

Just plug in your external drive to back it up to the cloud with Dropbox Backup—it’s that easy. Videos, photos and personal documents that are stored on your external drive will get backed up to Dropbox Backup, where you can access from any device. 

Keep your digital life safe with Dropbox Backup, so you can quickly and smoothly recover from anything, spills on a laptop or on a hard drive. Check out the Dropbox Backup plan here. 

Improved Dropbox search capabilities 

It’s frustrating when you just can’t find what you’re looking for, and that’s why the team has been working on improving search within Dropbox. These improvements will help you find your content faster, especially when you can’t remember the file name. It happens, we know. 

• Fast navigation with Dropbox recommendations. Dropbox will highlight your main collaborators, tags created by you and your team, and recent files and searches. 
• Filter to find content faster. Instead of scrolling to find files in search, filter by date modified alongside folder, file type, people, and image properties to find what you need. 
• Spell check that allows you to quickly identify misspellings and target your search more directly.
