The Gravity Forms Dropbox Add-On is an official integration that allows you to automate file handling by connecting your WordPress forms directly to your Dropbox account.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
Key Features & Capabilities
-
Automated File Transfers: Automatically sends files uploaded via a “File Upload” field directly to a specified Dropbox folder upon form submission.
-
Dropbox Upload Field: Adds a dedicated field to your forms that allows users to select and upload files directly from their own Dropbox accounts.
-
Dynamic Destination Folders: You can use “merge tags” to dynamically name folders based on form data (e.g., creating a folder named after the user’s “Last Name” or “Entry ID”).
-
Conditional Logic: Only send files to Dropbox if specific conditions are met (e.g., if a checkbox “Send to Cloud” is ticked).
-
Delayed Payment Support: Integration with payment add-ons (like Stripe or PayPal) ensures files are only uploaded to Dropbox once a payment has been successfully processed.

Important Considerations
-
Storage Efficiency: Files are uploaded to Dropbox, but by default, Gravity Forms also keeps a copy on your web server. You may need a snippet or additional plugin if you wish to delete the local copy after a successful transfer.
-
SSL Requirement: Because it uses OAuth for authentication, your site must have a valid SSL certificate (HTTPS) to connect to the Dropbox API.
-
File Size Limits: While Dropbox can handle very large files, your server’s
upload_max_filesizeandpost_max_sizesettings in PHP will still limit the initial upload from the user to your site.
