Add an attachment using Dropbox
Note: Visibility of the Choose from Dropbox button is controlled by an organization setting so it might not be active for your organization. If it is active, you must first register with Dropbox and then sign in before you can attach files. Details on how to register and sign in are presented below.
If you want to include an attachment in an alert, alert template, event, or event template, you can upload media or documents on Dropbox and then include a link to that attachment within the alert, event, or template you are creating. To add a link to an attachment stored in Dropbox, complete the following steps:
- In the Content section of the alert, event, or template, click Choose from Dropbox.
- Enter your Dropbox username and password. If you do not have a Dropbox account, click create an account under the Sign In button to create one.
Note: Although you need to set up an account in order to access Dropbox, you can use the Choose from Dropbox button to select files stored in the cloud or add files from your local drive without having to install the full Dropbox application on your computer.
- Click Upload.
- Click Choose files.
- Navigate to the file you want to upload, then click Open.
- Click Done.
- Click the filename in your Dropbox homepage, then click the Share link that appears in the same row.
- Copy the link location that appears in the Link to file field.
- Paste the link location into the More Info Link field in the Content section of the alert, event, or template you are creating.
