Can dropbox replace existing FTP process

Hello,

We are currently using FTP to share file with external vendor. The file is generated via scheduled batch job and placed in the FTP location for external vendor to download and process it further. We have Dropbox for Business - Advanced subscription. We are currently in the process to determine if we need FTP server on an on-going basis. 

Please advise if we can achieve this file sharing with external vendor using Dropbox. If yes, then will vendor also have to make any changes on their end. 

Regards,

Dipesh Bagadia

    Hi Greg,

    Thanks for reaching out. Discussing over the phone will really help. You can reach out to my email ID directly with call details. I can explain the scenario and you can suggest if it's possible via Dropbox.

    Regards,

    Hi Greg,

    I am not looking for API support. Currently I am just trying to confirm if I will be able to devise a solution using Dropbox for scenario mentioned in my original post.

    If my original post is not clear then I will prefer to have a call so that I can explain it better. Thanks.

    Regards,

    Dipesh Bagadia
