How do I select “shared files" folder in Dropbox as a folder path?


I have been working on this for a while, The idea is to export the order (.xls) from woocommerce to dropboxshared files” folder.

The idea is this:

1.At 12.00am, zapier will the export orders in .xls format(from woocommerce) to “shared files” folder in dropbox

But the problem is, in zapier there is no “shared files” as a folder option when I’m choosing the folder destinantion. I only can access the personal folder. The reason why I want to choose the “Shared files” folder is to share the files with my team.

The zapier plan that I am using is Starter Plan. Do I need to upgrade to a specific plan to get access to it?

Do you know a way around this?

Hey friends! 👋

I have good news to share, Team Folders are now supported! 🎉

So if you’ve got a business Dropbox account it’s now possible to select your team space (or your personal space) from the dropdown menu on the Space field.

Happy zapping! ⚡️

Hi @Alex_ekhlass 

Do you support Team folders (Dropbox for Business)?

At the moment, we don't support Team folders, but we do have it as a feature request.
To add your interest, contact support and we can notify you if and when we are able to add this to the Dropbox integration.

Hey @Alex_ekhlass!

Troy is correct here. Shared Team folders are not currently supported. I’ve added your vote to the existing feature request for this. While can’t give an ETA on when support for Team folders would be added to the DropBox integration, we will notify you by email as soon as it is! :)

Hi @studiohungry!

I’m afraid that it isn’t possible to access a shared folder in dropbox using Zapier, I’m sorry about that. If we have some news on this, we’ll update this post.

 

Thanks!

Given the recent “upgrade” to Dropbox Business accounts, my Zapier automations (which include creating folders in a team “share”) are broken. Is there any update to the ability to use Zapier to access shared (Team) folders in Zapier? The utility of Zapier for our use case has deteriorated overnight.

 

I’d imagine anyone who had their Dropbox Business accounts migrated to this new folder schema is similarly affected.

Please add me to the list also - half of the shortcuts within our business run on it.

 

eg: If a client shares a specifically titled document / PDF via email, we save it to a folder which then sends alerts for someone to check it.

If we get certain newsletters/PDFs from a particular source, it goes into a particular shared folder, which then creates a weekly summary of newsletters

etc etc etc.

Currently we can’t see any folders.

We have the same issue here with our Zaps. DropBox Business upgraded to Team Spaces and bam, no more Zaps working. :(
