We’ve felt that. And we saw that pain as an opportunity, one to make work a little less hectic. And we’ve taken the first steps with Dropbox Spaces and the all-new Dropbox desktop app we rolled out in September. It takes Dropbox from being the place you find your files to being the smart workspace where your content, tools, and team come together. But we realize that’s a bit of a wide net, so today, we’ll walk you through the top 5 things you can do in our new desktop app.
1. Give everyone Space
Folders? They’ve served us well this far, but let’s face it—they’re nothing more than containers. And when you’re coordinating a project across dozens of people, it doesn’t make sense to store files in one place and helpful info in another. Dropbox Spaces, though, turn your folders into collaborative workspaces where everyone can share project notes, assign to-dos, and pin important files for quick access.
Want to create one? Just select a folder, add a description, and… that’s it. The best part is that everyone with access to a Space can also access it through our mobile app and dropbox.com. And if you ever need to access files through Windows Explorer or macOS Finder, the Dropbox folder still lives on your computer as always.
