EDIT: There are some links showing up now with more content. When this was first posted there was very little to be found to confirm the author... I'll leave my comment for posterity though.

This doesn't look like it's officially from Dropbox? (I can't find any blog posts) No thanks.

It looks handy, but I'm not so sure I want to give someone access to my GMail AND my Dropbox when they can't even tell me who they are OR make it clear that they are NOT the service provider. Super sketch.

I stand corrected, thanks. Odd that I have to go searching and there is nothing published about it?

Seeing how courageously Dropbox moves into the territory of giants (first Cloudon, now Google Drive turf) the infamous Jobsian "you're a feature not a product" seems to be an iconic short-sighted mistake.

Really? Tell me how Dropbox is doing in 5 years from now after the cost for storage is infinite and free.

Gmail already has google drive integration. Dropbox could've made this chrome plugin years ago.

In the future all of Dropbox's revenue will most likely come from SMB's and a few enterprise customers.

Dropbox had yahoo mail integration 2 years ago: https://blogs.dropbox.com/dropbox/2013/04/yahoo-mail-dropbox...
