Dropbox is a cloud file storage and sharing platform for teams and individuals. Connecting to Cognito Forms turns submissions into organized files and folders—naming items from fields, attaching uploads, and keeping folders current.
Keep entries in Dropbox to reduce file handling, speed access, and safeguard files.
