Email by Zapier

Don't get bogged down in your inbox trying to search for that one PDF with the filename you can't remember. Instead, simply forward an email to a custom email address to automatically tuck away your attachments in Dropbox. 

How to automatically save email attachments in Dropbox

Make sure you never lose an important email attachment with this Zap. Set it up, then save your new Zapier email address. Then, whenever you send or forward an email with an attachment to that email address, Zapier will automatically save the file in Dropbox for you.

Send and receive email via a custom Zapier email address at "zapiermail.com". This is great for triggering off of emails and sending custom emails. (Max of 10 email sends per hour.)
