Dropbox + Foldr Integration
Dropbox pioneered consumer cloud storage. Mirror a Dropbox folder into Foldr for better embeddable URLs (Foldr serves raw bytes, Dropbox serves a preview page).
How to Connect Dropbox to Foldr
Create a Zap
In Zapier, start a new Zap with Dropbox as the trigger (or action, depending on your flow).
Add Foldr as the next step
Search "Foldr" in Zapier's app picker and choose the action you want — Upload File, Create Short Link, Create Bio Page, or Submit Form.
Authenticate Foldr
Paste your Foldr API key (from foldr.space/developers) when Zapier prompts for authentication.
Map fields and turn the Zap on
Map the Dropbox data into Foldr's input fields, test once, then enable the Zap.
Common Use Cases
- Bridge Dropbox-hosted files to Foldr for cleaner public URLs
- Use Foldr short links + analytics on top of files living in Dropbox
- Mirror a Dropbox folder to Foldr on a schedule
- Replace Dropbox's preview pages with Foldr's direct links for embedding
Dropbox + Foldr FAQ
How do I connect Foldr to Dropbox?
You connect Foldr to Dropbox via Zapier. Full steps are listed above under "How to Connect". In short: create a Foldr API key, configure the Zapier integration pointed at https://foldr.space/api/v1/, and map Dropbox's data into Foldr's request body.
Do I need a paid Foldr plan to use Dropbox with Foldr?
The Foldr free tier supports basic uploads via the API with 7-day expiry. For integration use with Dropbox — higher rate limits, permanent storage, multiple API keys, and webhook subscriptions — Foldr Pro (from $5/mo) is recommended.
What Foldr features can I call from Dropbox?
From Dropbox you can invoke any Foldr action: uploading files (up to 2 GB each), creating short links, generating bio pages, creating hosted forms, and reading download analytics. See the Foldr API docs for the full endpoint list.
Is there an official Foldr app for Dropbox?
Not a first-party app — Foldr integrates with Dropbox through Zapier, which is usually a better fit because it doesn't require installing an extra app. If you'd rather have a native integration, let us know at foldr.space/contact.
