Wondering if it's possible to collaborate in real-time on a Keynote presentation that's in Dropbox (similar how you can on Box, though would prefer to use Dropbox)?

Hey @bennesvig, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community.
If you're asking if there's a Dropbox integration with Keynote that would enable you to share and work on files in the Dropbox website, I'm afraid no, there's none at the moment.
If you'd like to, you can post your idea in the Ideas section of our Community so that other users can express their interest in your idea and upvote it too.
I know it's not much, but I hope this helps.

Asking about when using the Keynote application on desktop (not web). Is it possible to collaborate on a Keynote document stored in Dropbox in the Keynote Desktop app (meaning multiple people could be in the presentation at the same time, making edits)?
Not really as this could easily lead to conflicted copies.
The pattern would need to be this:
1. Let files sync
2. Start application
3. Save files
4. Quit application
5. Repeat on different computers.
One workaround that can be used to prevent conflicted copies is to move the file out of the Dropbox folder while editing it. Doing this causes the file to appear as deleted and doesn't allow other users to edit the file. Once you're done editing, you can move the file back into its original location in the Dropbox folder. It will reappear with your edits for all users who have access to that file.
The other option is to move it to a second folder designated for "In Use" files. Other members of the shared folder can still access it if they need to, but will know not to make changes.
I hope this information helps @bennesvig
