How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to Dropbox

Dropbox is a file storage platform. Every Contact Form 7 submission should flow into Dropbox without manual effort. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.

The direct approach

AFI delivers form data straight from WordPress to Dropbox. No third-party cloud, no per-task fees, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with Contact Form 7 installed and at least one form.
• A Dropbox account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Dropbox to AFI

Dropbox uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Dropbox, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it CF7 to Dropbox.

2. Pick your trigger

Select Contact Form 7 and choose your form. Fields are detected automatically.

3. Select Dropbox as the destination

Choose Dropbox and pick Upload File. This uploads a file to Dropbox.

4. Map fields

Match each Dropbox field to the corresponding Contact Form 7 field. Smart tags like {{_submission_date}} are available.

5. Add conditions if needed

Send only specific submissions based on conditional rules.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Submit a test form and verify in Dropbox. Check AFI → Log if needed.

Free vs Pro

Free maps file content and filename with unlimited submissions. Pro adds folder selection. No per-submission fees.
