Huzzah! As of today Figma content can live in Dropbox Paper as a live embed. This integration will lessen headaches for the whole company, whether you’re a project manager, engineer or product designer. Instead of hopelessly searching for the most up-to-date version of a design file, Figma designs and prototypes embedded within a Paper doc will now immediately update, ensuring everyone is on the same page all the time.

Dropbox Paper is a new type of doc for teams to create and collaborate together. Available to anyone with a Dropbox account, Paper already has integrations with indispensable services such as YouTube, GitHub and Facebook. We couldn’t be more excited to get added to the list.

Making it easier for teams to collaborate around design has always been Figma’s main purpose. With this “living canvas” keeping teams in context inside of Paper, we’ve branched out to include a multi-disciplinary approach to getting stuff done.

How easy can it be?

It’s as simple as copy/pasting. Command + V the URL to your Figma project into Dropbox Paper and the living document will appear immediately. Because all parts of the app that weren’t relevant were stripped out, the code for the live embed is extraordinarily lightweight and fast.

We hope you are as excited as we are to start using this integration. Head on over to Dropbox Paper today and try it out!
