Gravity Forms
+ Dropbox Integration Premium

The Gravity Forms Dropbox Integration Add-on provides an enterprise-grade bridge between WordPress form submissions and Dropbox cloud storage. Instead of forcing heavy file attachments, media assets, contracts, and resumes to accumulate on your WordPress web server, this add-on streams uploads straight into your designated Dropbox folders upon form submission.

Eliminate Server Bloat & Hosting Storage Limits

Storing user-submitted files locally consumes server disk space, inflates your regular WordPress backup archives, and can trigger strict hosting inode limits. By routing attachments straight to Dropbox, your WordPress hosting footprint remains light and fast. All file processing occurs via official Dropbox API v2 endpoints, ensuring rock-solid transfers without relying on third-party subscription tools like Zapier or Make.

Dynamic Subfolder Routing with Merge Tags

Keep your cloud storage meticulously organized. The add-on allows you to configure dynamic subfolder paths using native Gravity Forms merge tags, such as /Client-Uploads/{Name:1}/{entry_id}/ or /Invoices/{Date:3}/. Every user submission automatically creates its own organized folder structure in your Dropbox workspace, making file retrieval immediate and effortless.

Replace Local URLs & Streamline Team Collaboration

Once files are safely transferred to Dropbox, the plugin can replace standard WordPress entry file links with direct, shareable Dropbox links. Your administrative team, HR department, or external clients can access the submitted documents directly inside Dropbox desktop apps, mobile apps, or shared team folders without needing WordPress admin login credentials.

1. Secure OAuth 2.0 Handshake: Connect your WordPress site to Dropbox using standard OAuth 2.0 protocol. The add-on securely stores access tokens with automatic background refresh to maintain persistent authorization.
2. Form Submission & File Interception: When a visitor submits a Gravity Form with file upload fields, the plugin intercepts the temporary files in memory before they permanently bloat your WordPress uploads directory.
3. Dynamic Folder Provisioning: The engine evaluates all folder path merge tags (e.g. user name, form title, entry ID) and calls the Dropbox API to create or target the exact destination directory.
4. Chunked Streaming Upload: Files are securely streamed into Dropbox using chunked transfer encoding, ensuring large PDFs, high-resolution photos, and audio files transfer smoothly without script timeouts.
5. Entry Link Rewriting & Notifications: Entry metadata is updated with shareable Dropbox URLs, and automated confirmation emails are dispatched to both admins and respondents with direct cloud links.
