Hello, Do you think that uploading msft word or excel files via this app to dropbox is possible? This would be the only thing in my way from purchasing the app and subscribing to the service. -Andrew-

I'm not sure what you mean? The Microsoft Lync is just a Microsoft Communication platform that a corporation or business would apply in their environment. This app allows me to securely chat with other co-workers and make calls to the co-workers by using the Microsoft Lync system with Office365. So asking the question if you can add Microsoft files iync to Dropbox with in the Microsoft Link app? No, you can't do that with this app. The only function as a communication to connect with in the company you are working for. This is a free app and require no purchase. It won't work without your company installing Lync to their platform. So if you have any other questions. Please let me know. I will do my best to help out!
