You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Autosave Function for Office Suite
Request for an autosave function for office suite that enables saving in the documents source location, instead of being limited to saving on One Drive. Our team uses Dropbox as our hub, and are lacking in the autosave function that we get with the Google Workspace suite.
Hi Jay,
Thank you for reaching out! The intention is to edit files in the native app on computer, but the files would be located/saved in a Dropbox folder. I hope that helps!

Hey Lauren_, thanks for clarifying!
Keep in mind that this is a restriction coming directly from the Office software not Dropbox.
In any case, I'll forward your feedback to the appropriate areas so we can continue to improve.
You can always -and if it's convenient- work with Office Online, through Dropbox.
I hope this clarifies!
