Frequently Asked Questions about Box + Dropbox integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Box and Dropbox
Can I automatically sync files between Box and Dropbox using Zapier?
Yes, you can automatically sync files between Box and Dropbox using Zapier. You can set up triggers such as 'New File in Folder' in Box which will invoke an action like 'Upload File' into Dropbox, ensuring your files are consistently updated across both platforms.
What types of triggers can I use with Box in a Zap?
You can use several types of triggers with Box, including 'New File', 'File Updated', and 'New Folder'. These triggers allow you to automate actions in Dropbox, such as creating copies of new files or mirroring folder structures.
How do I ensure file changes in Dropbox reflect back to Box?
To ensure that updates in Dropbox reflect back to Box, you can use a trigger like 'File Updated' on the Dropbox side and set an action to update the corresponding file or add it into Box.
Is it possible to automate file organization between Box and Dropbox?
Absolutely! You can automate file management tasks by setting up Zaps that trigger on events like 'New Folder' creation in one service, leading to actions such as creating an equivalent folder or moving files into it on the other platform.
Can I set conditions when syncing files from Box to Dropbox?
Yes, we offer functionality that lets you set conditions based on various attributes. For example, you might only sync files from Box to Dropbox if they exceed a certain size or belong to a specific folder. This helps tailor the integration to meet your specific needs.
What happens if a file is deleted from either Box or Dropbox during a sync?
By default, deleting a file on one platform does not affect its existence on the other unless explicitly instructed. You can configure your Zaps with custom actions such as also deleting from the secondary service when deletion occurs initially.
Do I need technical skills to integrate and manage the sync between Box and Dropbox?
