Route files to Dropbox from your inbox
Connect this+that to Dropbox and stop manually saving attachments. Invoices go to finance, contracts go to legal, and weekly backups run themselves — all triggered by the messages that arrive in your inbox.
MCP-powered Dropbox access
this+that connects to Dropbox via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Add the Dropbox MCP server URL in your this+that settings and authenticate with your Dropbox account. this+that auto-discovers available tools — upload files, create folders, share links, move and organize — and makes them available in your workflows. No code, no custom scripts.
Examples of Dropbox workflows
Invoices forwarded and filed automatically
"When an email from a vendor contains a PDF attachment, forward it to the finance team, save the attachment to the /Invoices/2026 folder in Dropbox, and create a DoBox task to process payment."
Contracts saved on arrival
"When an email subject contains the word contract or agreement, save all attachments to the /Legal/Contracts folder in Dropbox and notify the legal team in Slack."
Weekly attachment archive
"Every Friday afternoon, collect all email attachments received that week from known vendors and upload them to the /Archive/Weekly folder in Dropbox."
Shared links sent back automatically
"When someone requests a file over email, find the relevant document in Dropbox, generate a shared link, and reply with the link directly."
Project documents organized on kickoff
"When a project kickoff email arrives, create a new folder in Dropbox using the project name, and post the folder link to the project Slack channel."
Combine Dropbox with your other tools
Dropbox workflows are most useful as part of a broader automation. Pair it with Gmail to file attachments on arrival, Slack to notify teams when documents land, or Jira to attach files to issues automatically. this+that connects all of them in a single workflow without any custom code.
Stop uploading files manually
Connect your inbox and let this+that route attachments to the right Dropbox folders automatically.
