Hi @marrsgirl 

There is a more technical way to achieve what you want by leveraging the Dropbox API: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-copy

Description

Copy a file or folder to a different location in the user's Dropbox.
If the source path is a folder all its contents will be copied.

This would require the use of a Webhooks step in a Zap: https://zapier.com/apps/webhook/integrations

Hey @marrsgirl!

Were you able to find a solution for your workflow using Webhooks by Zapier and the Dropbox API? 

We do have an open feature request for the Dropbox integration for a Copy Template Folder Action right in your Zap - if that sounds like what you are looking for, I can add your vote to that request. No ETA on when that could become available though  

please add my vote for this option as well

Hey @therese!

Thanks for the note, I’ve added your vote to the request - we will email you if/when the Copy Template Folder action becomes available for the Dropbox integration

Please put me on the notify list for this feature as well!

Hey @mdk, hope you’re well!

I’ve just added your vote to the request and we’ll be sure to email you if we add this functionality to the Dropbox integration. :)

Hi there folks 

Circling back round here to share that the feature request to have a “Copy Template Folder” action added is not going to be pursued by the team at this time. That said, if anything changes on the status of that feature request, we’ll definitely post an update here to keep you all in the loop!

In the meantime it might be worth using Dropbox’s API Request action to make a copy of an existing template folder/subfolders. It’s a bit more advanced as you’d need to reference Dropbox’s API documentation when setting up the request. But its slightly easier to set up than a webhook action as you wouldn’t need to set up any authentication for the request, it would just connect using the Dropbox account that’s already connected to your Zap. If it’s something you’d be interested in trying check out our Set up an API request action guide to learn more. 

Hope that helps. Please do reach out in Community if you have any questions or run into any issues in the meantime.
