Facebook is joining forces with Dropbox on a new integration that allows Facebook users to share content stored in their Dropbox accounts directly with contacts in Facebook Groups. To use this feature, Facebook users must first link their Facebook account to their Dropbox account. Once they’ve done this, they’ll be able to share documents, photos, and videos that are stored in their Dropbox folder with their Facebook Groups.
“You can share stuff from Dropbox right inside Facebook Groups! Now you can share notes with your study group, add the latest game schedule to your basketball team’s group, or post a birthday video to your family’s group at lightning speed from wherever you are. Just like other posts to Facebook Groups, people can like or comment on anything you share from within the group.” wrote Chris Varenhorst on Dropbox Blog,”and if you make any edits to a file you’ve shared, the group will get an update automatically! To share with your Facebook group, click ‘Add File’ on the group’s page.”
