Re: IBM i DropBox Interface? -- MIDRANGE-L

Oops .... meant to say that the folders can be shared .... unlike the
option from sendtodropbox.com.

Kevin (and list),

I did try IFTTT today and it is simple and effective. I used the step by
step instructions from the following blog article:

[1][1]http://www.labnol.org/software/upload-dropbox-files-by-email/18526/

I set up an IFTTT account and then linked email to my DropBbox account.
The report sent from my IBM i via email arrived quickly in my DropBox
account in a folder named IFTTT and in a sub folder named EMAIL. These
folders can then be saved.

I'll look a little closer to see if you can control the destination
folders, but for my purposes, this is going to work OK for now.

Rich - if you do try IFTTT let us know how it works. More options in the
toolbox is usually not a bad thing.

I've used MMAIL and Send to Dropbox to do some one off sending of
files before. Always worked fine for me.

attachment is painless. Thanks for the idea!

Sending an e-mail is indeed very easy. Just be aware that, depending on
what you're using to send your e-mail to Dropbox, you might not be able
to send your file to an arbitrary folder.

For example, Kevin mentioned "Send to Dropbox" which I think means

[6][6]https://sendtodropbox.com/

Looks very nice, looks very easy to use. But you apparently can't dump
your file into a shareable area. See "Can I share my Attachments
folder?" in the FAQ:

[7][7]https://sendtodropbox.com/faq

A lot of folks are apparently using IFTTT ("If This Then That") to hook
up e-mail to Dropbox. Seems like it may be more flexible, but I haven't
used it myself.
