Streamlined workflows for media users
Our latest Creative Tools add-on streamlines collaboration and workflows for media users—all without leaving Dropbox:
- Large file transfer—Send and track files up to 250 GB (previously 100 GB) without taking up space in your Dropbox account and consolidate and streamline file transfer point tools
- Frame-accurate commenting—Make precise comments alongside videos down to the frame

Transfer Facebook photos and videos to Dropbox
Our new integration with Facebook allows you to transfer photos and videos directly into Dropbox. Once the files are in Dropbox, you can organize your files and control who has access to shared content.
More control, security for external sharing
Enabling a new setting gives you the ability to approve or remove domains, teams, and users that your team can share with. External sharing settings apply to shared files, folders, and links across web, desktop, and mobile. No previous sharing relationships will be impacted.
Learn more about external sharing in our help center.
Features added to Advanced Team & Content Controls
New features added to the Advanced Team & Content Controls let you sign in to BetterCloud using your Dropbox credentials and create custom regular expressions to scan files for custom data types beyond the more than 95 pre-built data types.
New integration with learning management system Canvas
Students and faculty can now share course content including homework, lecture slides, and syllabi to Canvas directly from Dropbox. Users can also access their Dropbox content directly from Canvas.
Ending support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 11
