Dropbox + Gmail

Send Gmail alerts for new Dropbox files

Rather than constantly monitoring Dropbox for updated files, use this Dropbox Gmail integration to automatically send an email alert when a new file is added to a designated Dropbox account. This is great for keeping friends, family or colleagues up to date for new files inside a specific Dropbox directory.

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.
TriggerScheduled
automatically do this!
Send Email
Triggers when a new email appears in the specified mailbox.
