Add an attachment using Dropbox

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:
  1. In the
    Content
    section of the alert, event, or template, click
    Choose from Dropbox
    .

    create an account
    under the
