Use Dropbox as external storage

Hi

 

We have a Workbook solution (Deltek) for all our customers and orders. Every new customer created in Workbook creates a folder structure on our storage solution. Every new job also creates a folder structure on our storage solution. We have now replaces our internal storage solution with at Dropbox for Teams solution.

 

Workbook does not directly support Dropbox as storage provider - though they support Google Drive

 

Does anyone have an idea how to set up Dropbox integrated into another system as an external storage?

    Dropbox does offer an API you can use for programmatically listing, uploading, and downloading files, among other operations. You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here:

     

    https://www.dropbox.com/developers

     

    This would generally need to be implemented by the developer of the third party software itself. If you're not the developer of the software, you may need to reach out to them to ask that they build this in to the app.
