Work on Dropbox files in Lumin

Connect your Dropbox account and every file you bring in stays linked to the original.

  • Open files straight from Dropbox

    Choose Upload in Lumin, pick Dropbox and select the files you need. You can bring in several at once, and each one is marked with a Dropbox icon so you know where it lives.

  • Sync edits back to the original

    Make your edits in Lumin, then click Sync. Your changes save to the source file in Dropbox, so there's only one version to keep track of.

  • Save any document to Dropbox

    Working on a file that started somewhere else? Make a copy of it in your Dropbox from the document's More options menu.
