You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Cut down the commute from app to app, with integrated Zoom meetings right from Dropbox.
Chances are, if you’re working from home, you’re in more Zoom meetings than ever before. You can’t stop by someone’s desk to catch up quite so easily at the moment, but you can start a Zoom call with your team, right from Dropbox. If you need to get everyone on the same page, share feedback or just catch up, you can start a Zoom call from Dropbox and have easy access to your whole team and all your files, in one place. You can even record the meeting and save it to Dropbox so everyone is clear on what to do next, and anyone who couldn’t make the meeting is still in the loop. Don’t worry, the files and notes you shared will be in the activity feed, too. To get started, all you need to do is connect your Google or Outlook calendar to Dropbox and follow these steps: Click your profile picture (or face icon) in the upper-right corner. Click Settings. Click the Connected apps tab. Next to Zoom, click Connect to Zoom and follow the prompts. Then you can simply start a Zoom call directly from your files! You might not be physically working in the same place at the moment, but you can definitely be on the same page.

But you don’t just have to take our word for it, Jack is a senior designer on the team over at Graphicks, a creative agency, who recently used Movebot to transfer their files over to Dropbox, and he said: Movebot and Dropbox have made our lives so much easier. We used Movebot to migrate around 2TB of data from a different cloud service to Dropbox and the process was very smooth. We work with a wide range of file formats and both platforms supported our every need. We deal with large design files on a daily basis, which makes the different sync options available on Dropbox vital to our workflow. Being able to collaborate easily as a team from different parts of the country is essential. As a creative agency we needed a more collaborative and cost-effective solution to managing our files. Dropbox was an easy choice as other solutions have fewer features and don’t handle larger files formats as well. The unlimited storage that Dropbox offers means that we can continue to grow as a team without the worry that we will run out of storage – something that our previous platform would constantly remind us of! Have you ever needed to transfer a large amount of files from one platform to Dropbox?

You can back your WordPress website or blog with Dropbox
I'm a blogger, and I just recently started posting a lot of content on my blog. I've had bad experiences with WordPress relating to loss of data. Most times there used to be an error with WordPress updates, bad plugins, etc. So I installed a plugin on my WordPress dashboard that was supposed to help me backup my WordPress site. I was surprised to see an option that helped me back up my site to Dropbox automatically, even if I lost my data on WordPress, I could easily retrieve it from Dropbox😊
