Office 365 Admins: allow 3rd party storage

To allow your users to set Dropbox as a Place, follow the steps in the Microsoft help center to enable third-party storage. Third party storage is enabled by default, but you may need to re-enable it if the option was turned off.

Add Dropbox as a Place

Once third party storage is enabled by your Office 365 admin, you can add your Dropbox to your account:

1. Visit OfficeOnline.com.
2. Open Word, Excel, or PowerPoint Online.
3. Under Open from OneDrive for Business, click Add a place.
4. Check the box for Dropbox.
