Dropbox is a cloud-based file storage and synchronization service designed to integrate with most operating systems and devices, sync content in real-time across multiple devices, and act as a backup data repository for data.
Dropbox connector allows the downloading of source files and uploading of target files directly to/from the Dropbox repository. The connector uses the Dropbox API to implement the integration.
Dropbox Paper is not supported.
There are a number of use cases for the connector:
-
Project managers can add files directly to projects from an online repository.
-
Set up the submitter portal to allow Submitters to add files to requests directly from the online repository.
-
Use automated project creation (APC) to have new projects automatically created when a change in the last modified date is detected for monitored files or a folder.
-
Selected files are imported the very first time APC runs. All files are imported when a folder is monitored.
-
This connector supports absolute path setting.
-
-
Set up continuous jobs to have selected files monitored for changes.
Important
If accessing from a custom domain (ex. mydomain.phrase.jp), open an incognito browser window and log in via cloud.phrase.com or us.cloud.phrase.com to apply the authentication required for the creation or saving of the connector. After saving, the connector can be accessed via the custom domain.
