Details about Dropbox files on Employee Community.&nbsp;

We love sharing files from Dropbox because if the file is edited, the link is permanent. No worries about returning to your post to update the file — we'll always point to the latest version of the document behind the link. Hooray!

You may notice that your file from Dropbox doesn't embed like a file upload or a Google Drive document does. This is because Dropbox doesn't allow us full access to your content, but instead only provides us with the sharing link.&nbsp;
