Looks like we’re about to see a little mutual backscratching between former rivals.
Microsoft and DropBox are teaming up for a “strategic partnership”. Office integration will be opened up, so users will be able to view and edit any files saved online in DropBox. This means we should see updates to Office apps, hopefully with more Android compatibility.
Windows Phone users will also score in the deal as we’ll finally get an official DropBox app. Moving forward with Microsoft combining their apps for Windows 8 and Windows Phone, hopefully this DropBox app will also go cross platform.
App updates should drop “in the coming weeks” and online integration should happen early 2015.
I suppose a little cooperation between former cloud storage rivals never hurt anyone right?
