Microsoft partnering with Dropbox for online file-sharing

Software giant Microsoft has revealed that it has teamed up with online file-sharing company Dropbox to allow Office software users to manage and share files through Dropbox’s website and mobile app.

The software maker says the functionality would be included in the next updates to the Office mobile apps, to be rolled out in the next few weeks, and online accessibility would be available in the first half of 2015.

Microsoft already has a file-sharing service called OneDrive, but partnering with Dropbox will allow it to tap more than 200 million users of the Silicon Valley startup’s services.
