E-mailing files to Dropbox
I tried to find out how to send files to our Dropbox by e-mailing it. Google Search tells me about sendtodropbox.com, but while setting that up, my antivirus tells me that one webpage would be riskfu...
Hi Guido,
First off sendtodropbox.com is not us and is in now way associated with Dropbox, so I really recommend not inputting any personal data into that website.
Secondly why do you need to email to your Dropbox account? You can add files to your Dropbox account in a number of ways, you can use the desktop application by just dragging and dropping files in the Dropbox folder on your computer and they will be uploaded automaticallly for you.
You can also use the web uploader to add files to your account, so if you are on any computer, you login to your account and upload files, just make sure to logout again if it's not your computer. ;)
We have a super nice Help Centre article here showing you how to upload to your account.
I was wondering what the status is with DropBox and/or SendToDropBox regarding the ability to email attachments directly to a DropBox folder and to ANY DropBox folders, partcularly shared ones.
I work in an organization that uses DropBox to share voicemail WAV and Fax PDF files among several employees. The voiceMails and Faxes are sent to an email address by our voip/fax service provider. Right now we have to use a shared email address which is awkward. By having, for instance, all the voicemail WAV files automaitically go to a shared DropBox folder we can avoid multiple responses to callers because the first responder would then delete the WAV file from the Shared DropBox folder. The same goes for FAXs. Once the first responder processes the FAX they can delete it to avoid another employee also responding.
I am very surprised DropBox doesn't see the value in such a feature and why they haven't already developed it or found a third party to develop it. The SendToDropbox App is very limited and not useful in an organization where folks collaborate. They say they are working on an enhancement - I wonder what the status is. I would be willing to pau for the upgraded service option if they had this feature.
