You’ll still be able to edit, but the badge is there to warn you that if you and the other person continue editing at the same time, you may create different versions of the file.

More specifically, Dropbox tells VentureBeat that Office 2007, Office 2010, and Office 2013 are supported on Windows 7 and Windows 8.x, while Office 2011 is supported on OS X 10.8, OS X 10.9, and OS X 10.10.Īs Dropbox sees it, the badge means you don’t have to send endless email attachments back and forth for every new change a team member makes, worry about who else is editing a file while you’re working on it, or upload a document into a different format just so you can work with others. The really impressive part here is that the Dropbox badge works across not just Office on different desktop operating systems, but across different versions of both.
You don’t need to restart all of your Office applications: As long as Dropbox detects Word, Excel, or PowerPoint is running, it knows the badge needs to be visible.
In fact, if you close Dropbox while you’re using Microsoft Office, you can just relaunch it and the Dropbox badge will reappear. It appears when you open Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, stays in place when switching between these applications, and disappears only when you close all your Office applications or Dropbox.

It also lets you check whether there’s a more recent version of the file in question (and gives you the option to update it), plus it allows you to copy a link to the file you’re currently working on or share the whole Dropbox folder it’s currently in.Īs you can see above, all of this is available right from the badge that sits next to your Office document: beside, below, above, on top, or anywhere else you place it. More specifically, the feature launching today lets you see who else is viewing or editing a given file, and even notifies you when someone has just joined.
