Is there a way to forward emails to a Dropbox folder?

Hi there

 

I've reviewed some of the previous discussions on this but wanted to start a new one in hopes there is something new to update.

 

I want to forward my emails to dropbox.  Why?   We receive many invoices to email and to automate the data entry of them, I would like to send it directly to dropbox.

From dropbox, my data entry system will pick up the emails and enter them into my jobbing system and xero.

 

I keep a backup of the invoices on Dropbox, so will mean I only need to move files over once per month in order file them in the respective months.

 

Can anyone recommend the best workflow for this?

Cheers

K

  • Nothing has changed. Dropbox does not have a feature that allows you to send files to your account through email. There have been third-party services in the past that provide such functionality. Some have been discontinued. Others can be found with a Google search.

    Thank you for answering the question that I have NEEDED answered.

     

    For the life of me - WHY won't DropBox allow me to send emails dirrecly into it?

     

    Do you or anyone else have recomendations on the program to get that function?  I just need to forward work emails into DropBox.
