FAQs
- How do I send an email to Dropbox?
- Forward it to your ForwardThis address with some simple instructions, like "file this under Properties/Milton Road/Legal". ForwardThis saves the attachment to the right folder and replies with a link. The first time, you will need a free ForwardThis account with Dropbox connected - it takes about 30 seconds.
- What if I name a folder that does not exist?
- No problem. ForwardThis can create folders in your Dropbox for you, and the confirmation tells you when it has.
- What if the email has several attachments?
- Your instructions decide. Ask for all of them and every attachment is saved, or name just the ones you want. The confirmation lists each file with its link.
- What if a file with the same name is already there?
- Nothing is overwritten. Dropbox renames the new file automatically, and the confirmation shows the name it was given.
- Can I email files to Dropbox directly?
- No. Dropbox does not give you an upload address to email files to; its file requests are links you send to other people. ForwardThis fills the gap: forward the email, and the attachment is filed where you asked.
- Does it work with Outlook and other email apps?
- Yes. ForwardThis works with any email provider: Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail and everything else. If it can forward an email, it works.
- What happens to my email afterwards?
- It gets deleted. ForwardThis holds your email briefly in case you press undo, then removes it completely. Nothing is stored long term.
