About Dropbox Integration

The Paxform Dropbox integration provides seamless cloud storage for form submissions, automatically saving every completed form and attachment to your Dropbox account with organized folder structures and intelligent file naming. This integration ensures your form data is backed up, accessible, and easily shareable through Dropbox’s familiar interface.

This integration is ideal for small to medium-sized businesses, creative professionals, and teams that rely on Dropbox for file storage and collaboration. By automatically filing form submissions in Dropbox, you eliminate manual upload tasks, ensure consistent organization, and enable team members to access form data from any device through Dropbox’s sync and sharing capabilities.

How it Works

  • Connect Your Dropbox Account

Link Paxform to your Dropbox account using secure OAuth authentication. Grant folder access permissions while maintaining control over your Dropbox content.

  • Configure Folder Structure

Define where different form types should be stored in your Dropbox. Create dynamic folder naming using form data or maintain static organizational hierarchies.

  • Set File Naming Conventions

Establish how uploaded files should be named using form fields, dates, and custom patterns to maintain organized, searchable file libraries.

  • Automatic Upload & Sync

When forms are submitted, Paxform generates PDFs and uploads all attachments to your specified Dropbox locations. Files sync across all devices automatically.
