General

This type of action can be used to upload content (such as external files or report documents) to a Dropbox account.

Properties

This type of action has the following properties:

Linking a Dropbox Account

You can link a dropbox account to upload to by following these steps:

• Click the Link Dropbox Account button.
• A new browser tab will open where you must enter credentials of a Dropbox account and confirm that you want to allow Mail & Deploy to upload content to that account. At the end of that process an authorization code will be displayed.
• Copy the authorization code and paste it into Mail & Deploy.
• Click Confirm Authorization Code.

Content Types

Uploading a Report Document

You can upload a report document (that you have previously created, for instance with a Create Report Document Action) by setting the Content Type to Report Document. An additional property Content will be available where you can select the report document you want to upload. The Remote Path property must return the relative path instance including the file name (but excluding the file extension).

Uploading an External File

You can upload an external file by setting the property Content Type to External File. A new property Content Path will be available which is an Expression that evaluates to a string that contains a local or UNC file path to the external file to upload. The Remote Path property must return the relative path including the file name (but excluding the file extension).

Uploading a File Collection

You can upload all files of a File Collection by setting the property Content Type to File Collection. A new property Content will be available where you can select the file collection to upload. The Remote Path property must return the relative path but must not include any file name, because the file names of the content of the file collections will be used for the upload.

Uploading a Zipped File Collection

You can upload a ZIP file that contains all files of a File Collection by setting the property Content Type to Zipped File Collection. A new property Content will be available where you can select the file collection to zip and upload. The Remote Path property must return the relative path including the file name of the uploaded ZIP file (but excluding the file extension).
