This is particularly useful when you need to read downloaded Dropbox data using the FeatureReader, or upload data written by the FeatureWriter to Dropbox.

Here are some examples of typical uses for automation features:

Creating a new file in a folder triggers a flow, but only if the file is created in the main folder, not in a subfolder.

If you need to trigger on subfolders, you'll need to create multiple triggers to cover all the subfolders.

This can be a bit tedious, but it's a good thing Zapier allows you to create multiple triggers to achieve the desired outcome.

Output Ports play a crucial role in determining what happens to your data after it's processed in FME. The output of this transformer will vary depending on the Dropbox Action performed.

After an Upload action, URLs to the file may be saved to the Sharable Link and Direct Download Link attributes. A Download action can save to either a file or attribute.

A Delete action will save the number of files/folders deleted to the Deleted File Count attribute. This is a straightforward way to keep track of changes made to your Dropbox account.

Features that cause the operation to fail are output through this port. An fme_rejection_code attribute, having the value ERROR_DURING_PROCESSING, will be added, along with a more descriptive fme_rejection_message attribute which contains more specific details as to the reason for the failure.

Rejected features can be handled in two ways: either by terminating the translation or continuing to run when it encounters a rejected feature. This setting is available both as a default FME option and as a workspace parameter.

Here are the possible outputs of the Dropbox Action:

When sending files to Dropbox, you have several options for where the file will be uploaded. You can upload to the root directory by simply entering "/" in the "Upload to Path" field.

The "Upload with File Name" field requires a specific format, including a filename extension like ".txt" or ".jpg". This ensures that your file is easily identifiable and can be accessed later.

You can upload a file to any path within Dropbox, not just the root directory. To do this, simply enter the path in the "Upload to Path" field.

If you want to create a file from the data in a specific attribute, you'll need to specify the attribute in the "Attribute to Upload as File" field.

Here's a breakdown of the options:

The "Shared Link" and "Direct Download Link" fields are used to specify output attributes that will store URLs to the file on Dropbox.
