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 also would like to be able to send an email with an attachment and have the attachment saved to a particular DropBox folder. Saving attachments manually is time consuming on a computer, and much harder on an iPad or phone.
