Jobs, files of interest or any other matter, but without Facebook having access to it.
All you have to do is click on the three dots icon in any of the chats Facebook Messenger, with which to display the menu of tools that can be used in conversations.Thanks to the latest update, and if the user has it, now also appears Dropbox A service that allows to save in the cloud or Internet all kinds of documents and files without taking up space on the terminal and being able to access them from other devices.
