How do I connect my Dropbox account to Sandbox?

To connect your Dropbox account to Sandbox, navigate to the Integrations section in your Sandbox account settings and select "Connect" next to Dropbox. You'll be prompted to log in to your Dropbox account and grant necessary permissions for the integration.

What triggers are available when integrating Dropbox with Sandbox?

When integrating Dropbox with Sandbox, you can set up triggers such as 'New File in Folder', 'New Folder', and 'File Updated'. These triggers allow you to initiate actions in Sandbox based on certain activities in your Dropbox.

What actions can I perform in Sandbox when a trigger event occurs in Dropbox?

Once a trigger event occurs in Dropbox, you can perform actions such as creating a new project, storing data logs, or updating existing records within Sandbox. Each action can be customized based on the specific trigger.

Is it possible to set up custom notifications within Sandbox for file changes in Dropbox?

Yes, it's possible to configure custom notifications within Sandbox that alert you whenever there are changes to files or folders in your connected Dropbox account. Notifications can be tailored based on specific rules and filters.

Can I sync specific folders from Dropbox rather than all of them?

Certainly! You have the option to select specific folders from your Dropbox account that you want to sync with Sandbox. This selection helps streamline workflows by focusing only on the most relevant data for your projects.

How often does synchronization occur between my connected Dropbox and Sandbox accounts?

Synchronization between connected accounts typically occurs as close to real-time as possible. However, exact timing might vary based on server loads and API response times between both platforms.

Are there any limitations on the size or number of files that can be synced from Dropbox?

The ability to sync files may have limitations based on both your Dropbox plan's capacity and any restrictions set by our integration standards within Sandbox. Be sure to check both systems' limits for optimal performance.
