Automatic file transfer

Dear Dropbox-Community,

 

my name is David. I'm new here and I hope that I can learn from you 🙂

 

Due to a family celebration, I wanted to set up a photo transfer, so that all family members can share pics with each other.

So I made a subscription for the 'professional' version of Dropbox. Then I have set up two folders:

1. A request folder to upload pics

2. A shared folder to download pics

 

Is there is a possibility to set up an automatic rule, so when someone upload a photo, it will automatically get transferred to the shared folder.

At the moment I always have to copy new uploads into the shared folder manually. 

 

Hope you guys can help me.

 

BR,  David

    Hi David130 

     

    There isnt an automated way with Dropbox, no, but maybe look at IFTTT or similar to see if you can find a script that would do it?

    Hi David130,

    Hm.. 🤔 Why you need 2 folder at all? You can set file request and shared link to a single (the same) folder. 😉 Isn't easier?

    Hope this helps.
