Introduced Tuesday, the new commenting feature lets you have conversations on your own files and the files that people share with you. Comments are now live on the Web at Dropbox.com, and are "coming soon" to mobile, Dropbox said. /p>
"Whether you're collaborating on a business proposal or putting together a vacation itinerary, working with multiple people can be difficult," Dropbox wrote in a blog post Tuesday. "It can involve lots of back and forth conversations, scattered across email threads and chat windows. And in the process, feedback can get lost and it can take ages to get everyone on the same page."
The new feature is aimed at keeping your conversations organized in one place, Dropbox said.
Just like on Facebook or Twitter, you can bring someone into the conversation with mentions . Just type the @ symbol, followed by someone's name or email address, and they'll get an email notification — even if they don't use Dropbox. The notification will include a link to the file you're sharing.
"It's a one-step process to both share a file and gather input about it," Dropbox said.
When someone comments on a file you've shared, you'll get an email notification. If you don't want the play-by-play, just click "Unsubscribe to notifications."
By default, everyone with access to a shared link can make comments. But if you don't want others to add their input, just click "Turn off comments" in the Options menu.
The new feature comes after Dropbox and Microsoft earlier this month teamed up to make it easier to edit your Office documents online. You can now edit Word, PowerPoint, and Excel documents in Dropbox using Microsoft Office Online on the Web. This means you don't need the desktop versions of Microsoft Office, and can also use someone else's computer, to edit Office documents in Dropbox.
