> **Update (October 2026):** Dropbox ended support for the Dropbox for Gmail Chrome extension in August 2021, and the Chrome Web Store link below no longer leads to it. Dropbox now offers a Dropbox for Gmail add-on that you install from Gmail's side panel instead; see [Dropbox's help article](https://help.dropbox.com/integrations/gmail?ref=piotrkrzyzek.com).

Adding Dropbox into Gmail is pretty easy and extremely useful. As we've recently started integrating Dropbox heavily into our client workflows (as well as our own projects) I found it extremely annoying not to be able to easily share Dropbox files via email. Our choices were limited to:

- Don't share via Dropbox
- Go to Dropbox, get the share link via Dropbox, copy-paste into the email
- Go to Dropbox folder, find file, copy-paste into email

Now honestly, the last two aren't that horrible. But, having an easy to access interface comes in extremely handy for quick things. Especially if I wanted to save something from the email directly to dropbox for safe keeping. Thankfully there is now a handy extension for Chome aptly called "[Dropbox For Gmail](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dropbox-for-gmail/dpdmhfocilnekecfjgimjdeckachfbec?ref=piotrkrzyzek.com)":
