Send Dropbox data via Facebook Messenger
To use the new Facebook Messenger feature, you first have to update your app. In separate articles we show how this works on Android and on the iPhone / iPad. You can then link Messenger to your Dropbox account and send files.
- First install the Dropbox app for Android or iOS on your smartphone and log in to your account.
- Then start Facebook Messenger.
- Open the desired chat there and tap on the "More" tab at the bottom right.
- A small menu opens in which you can see the Dropbox icon. Tap on it and select the desired file from your Dropbox.
- The file then appears in the chat window and is automatically sent to the person opposite you. Currently, however, this only works with photos, videos and GIF files.
