It was quite a relief to see the Cloud integration feature rolled out
in the current version of Office – Microsoft Office 2013. What
disappointed users however, was the fact that apart from OneDrive, there
was no support for other competing cloud services like Dropbox, Google
Drive, etc. Fortunately, I came across a tweak that allows you to
complete this task effortlessly, and lets you add Dropbox to Office 2013.
It requires no modifications in registry settings – just a click to
download a batch file, followed by some relatively easy steps to run the
file.
Download the script. Thereafter, browse to its location and double-click on it. When prompted, press any key to continue. Note: When you download the script it will probably be flagged as a ‘Potentially harmful application’. Here, simply, ignore the warning and decide to keep it at your computer instead of discarding it.
Once downloaded, double click the executive file. It will open a command prompt in your Windows computer. It should look like the one shown in screenshot below.
Later, add the path name of your dropbox folder eg. C:\Users\username\Dropbox
Following this, the script should single-handedly complete the task of making the Dropbox available for your Office interface. The script is the updated version for Windows 8.1 and Microsoft Office 2013.
Finally, there’s some manual intervention required to add the Dropbox service to your Office installation. For this, open the Account options and look under Connected Services –> Add a Service -> Storage.
Select Dropbox. Wait for a while to find that the Dropbox has been added under the ‘Connected Services’.
