api.video + Dropbox

Upload videos to api.video from new files in Dropbox folders

If you depend on Dropbox for storing all your videos files, you don’t have to visit api.video to upload them again. Use this handy automation and we'll watch a designated Dropbox folder for any new videos to be added, automatically uploading them to your api.video account to be converted.

When this happens...
New File in Folder
Triggers when a new file is added to a folder. Make sure the number of files/folders in the watched folder does not exceed 6000.
