How to Open a Dropbox File from an Email

Are you tired of downloading email attachments and then manually uploading them to your Dropbox account? If so, you’re in luck! Dropbox has a feature that allows you to create a unique email address, which you can use to forward attachments directly to your Dropbox account.

Here’s how to set it up:

1. Make sure you have a Dropbox account (free or paid).

2. Click on your profile and go to “Settings.”

3. Under the “General” section, scroll down to “Features” and select “Email to Dropbox.”

4. Click on “Setup” to create a unique email address for your Dropbox account.

5. Note the email address and the folder where attachments will be saved.

6. Click “Done.”

Now, whenever you receive an email with an attachment that you want to save to Dropbox, simply forward it to the unique email address that was created.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Open the email with the attachment you want to save.

2. Click “Forward” and enter the unique email address created for your Dropbox account.

3. Click “Send.”

It may take a moment for the attachment to appear in your Dropbox account, but once it does, it will be saved in the folder specified during setup.

If you ever want to change the email address or folder location, simply go back to your Dropbox settings and make the necessary changes.

With this feature, you can save time and streamline your workflow by easily saving email attachments directly to your Dropbox account. Give it a try and see how it works for you!
