    Hi Laura42, thanks for contacting us!

     

    Just to clarify, you're trying to upload files to your Dropbox account? From which device are you trying to do so?

     

    I'm a little confused on what your plan is exactly, so could you describe it step-by-step for me?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

      so I receive video and documents that need to be uploaded to Dropbox for others to be able to review.  right now the process is I open the video or docs download on my external hard drive then extract the zipped file, and upload to the drop box files. I am trying to see if their is a way to only upload to the drop box instead of using my hard drive.

        Generally, when you receive a file, you need to save it to a location in order to be able to upload it to the site. 

         

        There may be some other apps or services that can help upload email attachments automatically to Dropbox.
