Think you’ve mastered Dropbox? Think again 😉! This powerful tool offers more than just basic file storage. There are some lesser-known features that can take your productivity and creativity to new heights. Here are three you might not know about, that can enhance your Dropbox experience 🤓🎉.
Aaaaand Check 👍
If you haven’t tried Dropbox Paper yet, you’re missing out. It’s perfect for collaboration, but it also has a killer feature for personal productivity… checklists! Whether it’s a to-do list for your project or a grocery list for the weekend, you can create easy-to-follow checklists that keep everything on track (You better believe this article has been on my checklist on Paper 😉).
Get your jam on 💃
Want to pump up your team with a killer playlist, or just add a little flair to your work documents? You can insert songs or podcasts from Spotify directly into Dropbox Paper 💃.
1. At the bottom of the Paper page click on insert media and select Spotify.
2. Paste the Spotify link of the song you want.
3. Click Add to doc and the song is now part of your Paper document (along with your To-do list).
And voilà, here is is what it looks like on your paper document (ehh this Paper doc is just a lil something I am working on 😳).
It’s a great way to build a team playlist for motivation, add an inspiring podcast for brainstorming sessions, or throw in a theme song to hype up the crew. Instant good vibes and productivity 🕺👨💻!
Get your notes (yes, the ones only you can read) digitised 💪
Need to digitise important documents on the fly? Use Dropbox’s built-in document scanner! You can scan receipts, notes, or any paper docs, and they’ll be saved directly to Dropbox in high-quality, easy-to-access files. It's like having a personal scanner in your pocket 🤳.
You may not have known about these features, but.. now you do. These tips are literally just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what Dropbox can do… way beyond just storing files 😎!

Love the scan feature! Wish I had known about it earlier. I had been using Scannable but it changed to being a paid app.
