rate limiting for uploads using Paperform

Question

I'm using Paperform to collect data and images / assets and want to automate transfer of them to Dropbox

Is there a fix / way to get around the Dropbox rate limiting for uploads? Not all of the images on the input boxes of the form are getting through

Has anyone else encountered thsi problem? If so is there a fix or an alternator ernative to Dropbox that may be viable? G-Drive?

Paperform themsleves dont seem to know

thanks in advance

Matt

Can you please clarify how you've got this set up in the first place and at what point of the process you're getting errors?

I've set up a form on paperform (which has multiple image/ video upload fields) and have automated a process by which it connects to my dropbox and transfers the media to specific drop box folders depening on the question

I had 10 image upload questions and boxes, and uploaded a set amount of images to each (some up to six images per box) Allreceived at least one image

The uploads that were over 3 images (for example 6 images) only had a few being transferred

Do you know why this is ? or how I can fix it?

Thanks

Matt

Hi LL_Matt, sorry to jump in here!&nbsp;

Do you use an API to achieve that, or is it an automated process on Paperform's end?&nbsp;
&nbsp;
I have to admit that it sounds like an issue on their end most likely.&nbsp;

No, I'm not&nbsp;directly sending API requests to Dropbox, so I would say no&nbsp;Paperform's Dropbox direct integration is an automated process developed in-house using the official Dropbox SDK&nbsp;So I would say this is an issue at the Dropbox endCan you help me solve it?&nbsp;ThanksMatt

Because you're using a third-party app that uses the Dropbox API, you would need to contact the developer of the app for assistance and they can reach out to Developer Support if needed. If there's an issue between the app and Dropbox, it would be up to the developer of the app to resolve.
