Why Make Dropbox Integration with Outlook?

Achieving Dropbox Outlook integration can offer several benefits to users by combining the functionalities of both platforms and enhancing their overall productivity and collaboration capabilities. Here are some reasons why integrating Dropbox with Outlook can be valuable:

Dropbox Integration with Outlook via MultCloud [Sync Automatically]

The best thing to make Outlook Dropbox integration is that we can easily transfer emails from Outlook to Dropbox on one interface. What’s more, if the transfer process can be automatic, the integration will be more meaningful. Luckily, these needs can be met by MultCloud Email Migration for free.

Since MultCloud is a multiple-cloud management service, all the operations on the cloud can be done on just one interface. Besides, Email Migration allows you to set a preferred frequency to migrate the emails, so Outlook emails be migrated to Dropbox automatically. Also, the emails will be shown as PDF files on your Dropbox which is more convenient for reading and sharing.

Step 1: Enter MultCloud and sign up for an account.

Step 2: Click on “Add Email” in the left sidebar and choose Outlook among the icons. Then log in to your Outlook account in the pop-up window to add Outlook to MultCloud. Also, add Dropbox to MultCloud with similar operations, except for changing “Add Email” to “Add Cloud”.

Step 3: Click “Email Migration” after you successfully add Outlook and Dropbox. Then choose these 2 cloud drives in the FROM/TO boxes.

Step 4: Open “Schedule” under the FROM box and choose a preferred time. At last, click “Migrate Now” and the task will run automatically when the appointed time arrives.

Dropbox Integration with Outlook via Dropbox for Outlook

You can also integrate Dropbox and Outlook with the Dropbox add-in. However, this method is suitable only if you want to save attachments from Outlook to Dropbox, rather than saving emails to Dropbox. Also, you can only save the attachments of one email to Dropbox at once.

Step 1: Open the Outlook app and click “Get Add-ins” in the upper taskbar.

Step 2: Enter “Dropbox for Outlook” in the search box. When the result appears, click the blue “Add” button and you will see the Dropbox icon in the upper taskbar.

Step 3: Open an email with attachments and tap on the Dropbox icon. Then there will be a right sidebar of Dropbox and click “Sign in” to log in to your Dropbox account and allow Dropbox access.

Step 4: Choose a Dropbox folder to save the attachment in the right sidebar and select “Save”. After that, this Outlook attachment is saved to Dropbox. You can check your Dropbox folder to see if it is saved there.

Conclusion

Both of the 2 methods here can make Dropbox integration with Outlook free and they can be used in different situations. If you only want to save attachments from Outlook to Dropbox and don’t mind if it can transfer one email’s attachments at once, you can choose to use Dropbox for Outlook add-in. But if you want to save emails and attachments to Dropbox, want to batch-transfer emails, and prefer to convert emails into PDFs, MultCloud will be a better choice.

Additionally, you can also use MultCloud to batch-download Outlook emails as PDFs to your computer or an external hard drive. But this time you will need to use Email Download instead of Email Migration.
