Dropbox is a cloud storage solution for individuals and enterprises. Dropbox is used to manage, share, and collaborate on digital files. Dropbox can store most common file types and enables access for individuals anywhere across multiple platforms
By integrating your Bynder portal and Dropbox account you are able to seamlessly connect assets between the two by automatically moving assets in your Dropbox Account to Bynder, without downloading from Dropbox and re-uploading to Bynder. Non-Bynder users will now be able add assets in Dropbox and have them automatically added to your DAM.

If you would like to connect more than one Dropbox account, you will need to configure a new Dropbox workflow for each account you would like to set up.
After configuration, all selected assets in your Dropbox account will upload to your portal’s waiting room after about 2 hours. Once approved, the assets will appear in your Asset Bank. Moving forward, any assets added or moved to the selected folder (or subfolders) in the configured Dropbox account will automatically be uploaded to the waiting room after about 2 hours. Learn more about the waiting room here.
