Dropbox just overhauled the designed of its flagship file-sharing product. "It's the biggest change we've ever made to our product," Dropbox CEO and co-founder Drew Houston said at a press event. For instance, employees tend to use an array of tools like Slack, Zoom, Atlassian, Google's G Suite, and more. This involves having to switch between windows and tabs to find files and communicate with co-workers. But with the new Dropbox, users can organize their related files in one place, whether it's PowerPoint files or Google Drive files. So workers can send Slack messages or set up Zoom meetings right from Dropbox and don't have to keep switching between different apps.[3839]
