Practical ways you can use Dropbox and WordPress
Archive media to Dropbox for new WordPress posts.
When a new post is created in WordPress, Zapier can automatically save the post’s media files (like images) to a specified Dropbox folder. This ensures all media is backed up efficiently, providing an organized structure for creators or business owners managing a blog or media-heavy website.
Business Owner
Save updated WordPress posts to Dropbox.
Whenever a WordPress post is updated, Zapier can save a backup of the updated content into Dropbox. This automation streamlines content management and reduces the risk of accidental data loss by keeping historical versions of updates readily accessible in Dropbox.
ITUpload shared resources to WordPress when stored in Dropbox.
When a new file or resource is uploaded to a shared Dropbox folder, Zapier can automatically upload it to WordPress as media. This ensures that project-related files are quickly accessible to all team members through WordPress portals, enhancing collaboration and efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dropbox + WordPress integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Dropbox and WordPress
How can I connect Dropbox with WordPress?
You can connect Dropbox with WordPress using plugins or automation tools that allow integration through APIs. Our service helps you set up triggers and actions, such as uploading files in Dropbox automatically when a new post is published in WordPress.
What kind of tasks can be automated by integrating Dropbox with WordPress?
Tasks like automatically saving WordPress media uploads to Dropbox or updating your website based on modifications in a designated Dropbox folder can be automated using our integration tools. You set specific triggers, and our system handles the actions.
Is there a way to back up my WordPress site content to Dropbox?
Yes, by creating an automation where changes or updates in your WordPress site trigger saving files directly into a designated Dropbox folder for backup purposes.
Can I use this integration to publish content from Dropbox direct to WordPress?
Absolutely, we can configure an action where adding files or documents to a specific folder in your Dropbox triggers their automatic publishing on your WordPress site as posts or pages.
What happens if my integration between Dropbox and WordPress stops working?
If the integration stops working, we suggest checking the authentication status first. Ensure that both accounts are correctly connected and have the necessary permissions. For persistent issues, checking logs for any errors might help identify and resolve the problem.
Can this integration handle large media files efficiently between Dropbox and WordPress?
While standard triggers manage most file types well, handling very large media files depends on server capabilities and network bandwidth. We recommend optimizing file sizes when setting this path through our integrations.
Are there any security concerns I should be aware of when integrating these platforms?
Security is important. When connecting accounts for actions like file uploads from Dropbox to WordPress, ensure both platforms are accessed through secure credentials and that you regularly review permission settings for privacy maintenance.
