In November 2014, Microsoft and Dropbox announced that the companies would be working together to bring even more cloud storage options to the suite of productivity apps for Android. It worked out of the gate for Android smartphones.

Now, several months later, Dropbox and Microsoft are announcing that the long-awaited Dropbox support is now live for Android tablets. For users that prefer their productivity apps from Microsoft, and like a little cloud storage from Dropbox, that means that documents and be opened from Dropbox right into one of Microsoft’s apps, and documents can be saved right up to the cloud, too.

The integration works with Word, PowerPoint and Excel, and it should be available now within those apps.
