Keep everyone on the same page
Dropbox makes it easy for you to safely share and collaborate with others, helping you focus on the work that really matters to you.
Sharing is caring (and easy)

Make your mark
One of the ways Dropbox makes working with others a breeze is with the Comments collaboration tool. Everyone with access to a file can leave a comment for everyone else to see within Dropbox. No need for back-and-forth emails, instant messages, or downloading software. Now you can keep everything in one place in Dropbox—right next to the content itself.
Common questions
Who can see comments left on a document?
Anyone can see comments in a document as long as they’ve been given access. You’ll only receive a notification of a new comment if you’re the file owner, if you were @mentioned, or if you are following the document.
Do I have to have a Dropbox account to comment?
Yep! You’ll need to be signed in and have access to a file to comment on it.
Wait! What if I don’t want everyone to edit my content?
That’s an easy one. By setting view-only permissions for specific files or folders, you can keep people from editing your content, but still let them view it.
