Figma + Dropbox Paper | Figma Blog (opens in new tab)

Figma announced a live integration with Dropbox Paper that lets teams embed Figma designs and prototypes directly into collaborative documents. Embedded content updates automatically, reducing confusion over outdated files and keeping project stakeholders aligned. The integration reflects Figma’s broader goal of making design collaboration accessible across disciplines and tools.

Live Figma Embeds in Dropbox Paper

  • Figma designs and prototypes can now appear as live embeds inside Dropbox Paper documents.
  • Updates made to the original Figma file are reflected immediately in the Paper document.
  • The feature helps project managers, engineers, and designers work from the same, current version of a design.
  • It eliminates the need to search for or repeatedly share updated design files.

Broader Collaboration Across Teams

  • Dropbox Paper is positioned as a collaborative workspace for teams with Dropbox accounts.
  • Paper already supported integrations with services such as YouTube, GitHub, and Facebook.
  • Figma’s addition extends design collaboration beyond the design application itself.
  • The integration keeps teams in context while discussing and acting on design work.

Simple, Lightweight Setup

  • Users can create an embed by copying and pasting a Figma project URL into Dropbox Paper.
  • The live document appears immediately without a complicated configuration process.
  • Figma removed unrelated application components from the embed, making it lightweight and fast.

The integration is recommended for teams that use Dropbox Paper to coordinate work around designs. By embedding live Figma content rather than static exports, teams can maintain a more reliable and up-to-date source of truth.
