What is Dropbox?

Dropbox allows users to store documents, photos, videos, and more in your personal cloud storage space, eliminating the need for physical storage devices.

How it works

Go to `Integrate` from the top menu and click `Dropbox`.

<Warning>
  This integration is only applicable to **file uploads**. When creating your form, make sure you have at least one file upload field.
</Warning>
Add a name for your connection, then `Connect to Dropbox`.
Choose which **Folder** you would like to store the files in. Under **upload fields**, `+ Add new` and select a **file upload field** from your form.

Once everything is set, click `Finish setup` on the upper right corner. That's it! Your form's good to go. `Publish` to reflect changes and share the link.

Add a dynamic file path

Categorize file uploads into folders based on respondent input. Toggle the Custom subfolder and file name? switch, then select a Folder path fragment. Enter text or click to map a field in your form. Let's choose "Name" for this example.

Now, when a respondent submits a form, their file upload will be stored in a folder under their Name. This means every respondent will have their own folder.

Add subfolders

You can add a subfolder by typing / followed by a name of your choice.
