Frequently Asked Questions about Dropbox + OneDrive integrations

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

How can I integrate Dropbox with OneDrive using your platform?

You can integrate Dropbox with OneDrive by setting up automations known as 'Zaps'. Choose a trigger, such as 'New File in Folder' on Dropbox, and connect it to an action, like 'Upload File' in OneDrive, to move files automatically between the two services.

What are the available triggers for Dropbox that can be used when integrating with OneDrive?

When integrating Dropbox with OneDrive, you can use several triggers, such as 'New File in Folder', 'New Folder', or 'New File Request'. These triggers help initiate automated actions in OneDrive once an event occurs in Dropbox.

Are there specific actions that can be performed on OneDrive after a trigger is activated on Dropbox?

Yes, after a trigger from Dropbox is activated, you can perform various actions on OneDrive like 'Upload File', 'Create Folder', or 'Move File'. This allows seamless automation of file management tasks across the two platforms.

Is it possible to sync folders between Dropbox and OneDrive using your service?

While our service primarily sets up triggers and actions, continuous real-time syncing isn't directly supported. However, you can create Zaps to copy new files added to a specific folder from Dropbox to OneDrive automatically.

Can I choose specific files or folders in Dropbox for integration with OneDrive?

Yes, when setting up your Zap, you're able to specify particular files or folders in Dropbox that should trigger actions or be transferred to your designated location within OneDrive.

What happens if a file already exists in both my Dropbox and OneDrive folders during integration?

When an identical file is detected during integration via our platform, duplicate prevention isn't inherently managed. You may need custom logic within your Zaps if avoiding duplicates is critical.

How frequently do automations run between my connected apps?

Our automations check for new data periodically. The exact frequency depends on the plan you're subscribed to—generally every few minutes under premium plans. This determines how swiftly updates move from Dropbox to OneDrive when triggered by a Zap.

Practical ways you can use Dropbox and OneDrive

Back up important Dropbox files to OneDrive.

Ensure your business-critical files are never lost by creating an automated backup process. When a new file is added to a specific Dropbox folder, Zapier automatically uploads a copy to OneDrive. This ensures you maintain redundancy and peace of mind, without manual effort.

Business Owner
Sync new OneDrive folders to Dropbox.

Keep file storage systems up-to-date effortlessly. When a new folder is added to OneDrive, Zapier instantly creates a matching folder in Dropbox. This helps the IT team maintain consistency across platforms and reduces the risk of miscommunication or missed files.

IT
Organize campaign assets from Dropbox to OneDrive.

Seamlessly organize your campaign assets. When files are added or updated in a specified Dropbox folder, Zapier uploads them to OneDrive. This streamlines asset management and ensures seamless sharing with teams and clients.

Marketing & Marketing Ops

Supported triggers and actions
