Cloud storage service Dropbox announced an integration with Facebook that allows users to share files within groups on the social network.

Once users link their Dropbox and Facebook accounts, they can share documents, photos, and videos on groups’ walls, and, like other group posts, their content can be liked, shared, or commented on. If the content is edited at a later point, the group will receive a notification about the updated content.
