Add Dropbox Links in Gmail with Dropbox for Gmail Extension

February 17, 2015

Dropbox just keeps getting better by the day. Although the tool offers a host of options to share its contents, the company keeps finding a way to get things done quicker. Its latest move is the launch of the Dropbox for Gmail Extension for Chrome (beta edition.). This extension adds a Dropbox icon inside your Compose box in Gmail, so that you can directly add links to items that are in your Dropbox account into the Gmail compose message window. Let’s take a look at how the extension works.

Dropbox for Gmail Extension in Action

1. Head over to the Chrome Web Store and install the free Dropbox for Gmail Extension.

2. Once installed you can open up your Gmail account and hit the Compose button on the left pane.

3. In the Compose window, at the bottom right corner of the screen, a pop up message will indicate that the Dropbox icon has been added. Click Got it!

The link to the files in your Dropbox account are automatically inserted into your Gmail message. The message recipients will see a preview of the linked files and will get an idea of what the link contains before they click on it.
