Frequently Asked Questions about Dropbox + Google Drive integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Dropbox and Google Drive

Yes, you can set up automated workflows using our platform to sync files between Dropbox and Google Drive. By creating a trigger when a file is added or updated in Dropbox, you can create an action to automatically upload that file to a specific folder in Google Drive.

To copy new files from Google Drive to Dropbox, set up an automation that triggers when a new file is created in a specified Google Drive folder. Our platform will then execute an action to save that file into your chosen Dropbox folder.

Absolutely! You can establish an automated process where any photo uploaded or modified in your Dropbox account triggers an upload of the same photo to a designated folder in Google Drive for backup purposes.

Yes, by using our filtering options, you can choose specific file types or extensions that should trigger actions. For instance, you might set a trigger for only PDF files added to Dropbox and have them copied over to a particular folder in Google Drive.

Our automations don't inherently handle deletions because they are primarily designed for creation and updates. You'll need custom logic if you want deletions in one service reflected in the other.

Our system typically checks for new triggers every 5-15 minutes depending on your plan and settings. Once a change is detected, the corresponding action is triggered immediately after processing.

File size limitations are primarily governed by the restrictions of the respective services: both Dropbox and Google Drive have their own limits. Ensure your files meet these criteria as our platform doesn't impose additional size constraints beyond these services.
