Sending files via email to folders
I need to be able to send files to specific folders in dropbox via email. Is this possible? I do not want to have to login to 64 different accounts to update the files.
- That's not possible with Dropbox. There are third-party services that use the Dropbox API to allow you to email a file to a folder in your account, but it's to a single specific folder.
You might also be able to use something like IFTTT to build this yourself, but you'll likely still be limited to a single specific folder.

I desperately need such a service so I can send an email to a specific email address and the attachment{s} will end in a specific Dropbox folder.
