Is there Office access, and options to convert PDF files?

Hi

Does anyone know if Office 365 is part of one of the Dropbox subscriptions?
And also, is there any feature in the dropbox subscription that can e.g. convert pdf to word? I'm looking for the best soliution in porder to include as many features in one subscription instead of having both the 365/onedrive family, the Adobe, and the 200 gb google subscriptions...

Hoping for some useful input here, thank you:)
Best regards Thomas

    The Dropbox subscription doesn't include any Microsoft subscription on it, or any Adobe subscription.

     

    You can, however, edit Office files via the Dropbox site using Office for the web.

    Hi thomla, thanks for messaging the Community!

     

    Are you referring to the paid Microsoft 365 account, or just using the web versions of the Office apps via the web?

     

    There are some apps that can connect to Dropbox which will allow you to convert PDF files to Word.

     

    If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

      Hi 
      Thanks for the reply:)
      I currently have the 365 family, including office, 1 TB Onedrive etc... and then also the adobe subscription allowing me to convert pdf into eg. Word.
      I was just wondering if Dropbox could be a better alternative... if everything was included... or if I would still have to subscribe to the microsoft solution... having office 365 separately... and also the adobe account... Then a Dropbox account as well wouldn't make sense... I would like to keep things more simple having just one subscription (instead of my 4 now... Onedrive/365, Adobe, google 200 GB and the (for now) free 2 gb Dropbox-account) and of course cheaper if possible... 
      Thank you!
