Add Dropbox in PowerPoint for the Web

When you launch PowerPoint for the Web, it opens Presentation Gallery that provides you with a list of recently opened PowerPoint documents, and Themes and Templates to start a new presentation. You can also click the Open from OneDrive option, as shown highlighted in green within Figure 1, later on this page, to navigate your OneDrive folders so as to locate a PowerPoint file to open within PowerPoint for the Web. Other than OneDrive, PowerPoint for the Web also supports Dropbox as a cloud alternative.

In this tutorial, we will explore adding Dropbox as a Place location in PowerPoint for the Web:

1. Open the Presentation Gallery and click the Add a place option, as shown highlighted in blue within Figure 1, below.
