Adding Dropbox as a file storage on New Teams - how do you do it?

Hi,

I'm currently running a small business and using Dropbox as our file storage. There's good reason that we'd like to keep this, rather than use OneDrive/Sharepoint. However, I have looked up how to do it and it sounds simple, but I can't find the Dropbox app anywhere.

I've checked the file settings and have Dropbox enabled there, but I can't understand how to enable it. Because it doesn't show up in the app library (if following these instructions). Has anyone successfully done this? If so please help!

    A lot of features have been removed in the New Teams - including the Dropbox storage option.

    I am not sure if it will come back (as an app).

    Hello Tom D,

    Thanks for your prompt feedback.

    Unfortunately, I don't have any further troubleshooting to offer.

    There are many knowledgeable users active on the forum and I hope that someone else can offer further insight on your issue.

    Warm Regards,

    Patrick.

    I must be missing something because this doesn't seem to be an option in my Teams.

    For example, if I click on: 'team' > 'files' I do not get the option to add cloud storage. Nor do I see Dropbox in the list of apps that I can add if I click '+'.

    I have checked settings and Dropbox is enabled as a file storage system. I can't see where to add it. Am I going mad??

    Click on 'files'

    Click on ...

    Click on '+' in the pane above to open apps, and search for Dropbox

    Check settings to make sure I'm allowed to access Dropbox:

    I have no idea how to link my Dropbox system to Teams. Help anyone?! Thank you in advance!!
