Dropbox Extensions let you use various types of app extensions to seamlessly perform actions, like publishing a video, adding files to emails and chats, sending a file for eSignature, and more, right from Dropbox—no additional integration work or coding needed. Once you’re done working, you can save files in Dropbox so everything stays organized, in sync and in one place.

Manage document workflows

View, edit and adjust images

Open and edit DWG files directly in the AutoCAD web app—no software required. You can also use Pixlr X to fine-tune color, add text, and transform your images—straight from Dropbox.

Edit PDFs

Need to make updates to a file? Work with tools like Nitro, airSlate PDFfiller, and Smallpdf to organize, fill out, convert, and compress any PDF.

Send faxes

Use HelloFax to shoot out scanned paper documents without a desk-cluttering fax machine.

Easily track down work

Work on a file in another app, and once you’re done, it will be saved back to Dropbox. Plus, you’ll get notifications when apps save edited copies of your files or someone’s added an eSignature. So when you need to find your work again later on, you’ll save precious time and enjoy a better user experience.

More apps, less work

Do more in one place—and reduce the busywork that gets in the way of getting specific tasks done. Extensions let you connect to the tools you already use, without additional integration work, coding, or software installation. And you can easily manage your Extensions, whether you work solo or manage large teams.
