Drawboard PDF

Dropbox

Annotate Dropbox files in Drawboard PDF and sync changes back automatically so teams share one version.

Dropbox is a popular place to organize and share working files with teammates and clients. Shared folders keep drafts, contracts, and finished PDFs in one spot that everyone can reach.

By connecting Dropbox to Drawboard PDF, you can take files straight from your shared folders into a focused markup space, then return them with edits applied. No exports, downloads, or messy version chains. Whether you’re reviewing designs, adding final sign-off, or collecting feedback, the document in Dropbox stays the one everyone works from.
