Microsoft and Dropbox have teamed up to make it easier to edit your Office documents online.

The companies on Thursday announced that you can now edit Word, PowerPoint, and Excel documents in Dropbox using Microsoft Office Online on the Web. This means you don't need the desktop versions of Microsoft Office, and can also use someone else's computer, to edit Office documents in Dropbox.

Now, just click the Open button when you're previewing a Dropbox file on the Web to edit the file right from your browser via Office Online. Any changes will automatically be saved back to your Dropbox.

In addition, you can now access your Dropbox account directly from Office Online. This allows you to open any of your files, and save any new files to Dropbox, without leaving Office Online.

"Whether you start in Office Online, or from Dropbox, it's simple to work with Office and Dropbox on the Web," Microsoft's Office team, wrote in a blog post Thursday.

All Dropbox and Office Online users can take advantage of these new features beginning today.

The new integration comes after the companies in November first teamed up to connect Office and Dropbox on iOS and Android devices, letting you access your Dropbox files right from the Office apps, and edit Office files from the Dropbox apps. The companies further extended their partnership in January, launching Dropbox on Windows phones and tablets.

Meanwhile, recent evidence suggests that Dropbox is working on a new online note-taking application, dubbed "Project Composer," though the company has remained mum on the topic.
