■Overview
As the number of files stored in Dropbox continues to grow, managing them can quickly become complicated. Even when you recognize the need to organize your files regularly, doing so manually can be time-consuming and often gets put off. With this workflow, you can automatically organize files in Dropbox based on a schedule you set. By automatically moving files that match specific conditions to another folder, you can eliminate the hassle of manual organization and keep your files organized at all times.
■Recommended for
- Anyone who uses Dropbox for daily operations and wants to streamline file organization
- Anyone who wants to standardize and automate file management rules for team-shared Dropbox folders
- Anyone who wants to eliminate recurring file organization tasks and focus on core work
■Benefits of using this template
- Dropbox file organization runs automatically on your specified schedule, reducing the time previously spent on manual tasks.
- Prevent mistakes such as overlooking files or forgetting to organize them manually, helping you keep your folders clean at all times.
■Flowbot steps
- First, connect Dropbox to Yoom.
- Next, select Schedule Trigger as the trigger, set the action to “When the specified schedule arrives,” and specify the date and time you want the workflow to run.
- Then, set the Dropbox “Search for files” action as an operation and specify the conditions for the files you want to move.
- Next, set the “Repeat the same process” operation to move each file found in the search.
- Finally, set the Dropbox “Move file to a specified folder” action within the repeat process to move the target files to the specified folder.
※“Trigger”: An action that starts the flow. “Operation”: An action that runs within the flow after the trigger starts.
■Customization options
■Customization options
- In the Dropbox “Search for files” action, specify the path of the folder containing the files to organize and the file name to use as the search condition.
- In the Dropbox “Move file to a specified folder” action, specify the path of the destination folder. You can also set this path dynamically based on information obtained from a previous action.
■Notes
- Connect Dropbox to Yoom.
- Apps used between “Repeat the same process” operations are available on the Personal plan and above. On the Free plan, the operations and data connections configured in your Flowbot will result in errors.
- Paid plans, including the Personal plan, come with a two-week free trial. During the free trial, you can use apps and features (operations) that are otherwise subject to plan restrictions. For details, see the Pricing Plans page.
