How to Send FormCraft Submissions to Dropbox
Dropbox is a file storage platform. Every FormCraft submission should flow into Dropbox without manual effort. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.
Skip the automation middleman
Rather than routing data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to Dropbox. No task meter, no monthly bill.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with FormCraft 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 FormCraft to Dropbox.
2. Pick your trigger
Select FormCraft as the form provider and choose the form you want to connect. AFI detects the fields automatically.
3. Select Dropbox as the destination
Choose Dropbox from the platform dropdown and pick Upload File. This uploads a file to Dropbox.
4. Map fields
Match each Dropbox field on the left to the corresponding FormCraft field on the right. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}} and {{utm_source}}.
5. Add conditions if needed
Only want to send certain submissions? Set up a conditional rule based on any form field value.
6. Save and test
Click Save Integration. Fill out your FormCraft form and submit. Check Dropbox to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.
Free vs Pro
The free version maps file content and filename to Dropbox with unlimited submissions. Pro adds folder selection. No per-submission fees on any plan.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need coding skills?
No. Everything is configured through a visual interface, including field mapping.
Will adding this slow down my form?
No. AFI sends data to the destination after the form submission completes. Your visitors see the normal success message without any delay.
Can I connect multiple FormCraft forms?
Yes. Create a separate integration for each form, or send one form to multiple platforms.
