Practical ways you can use Dropbox and Frame.io
Share approved video content with team in Dropbox
When a new project is approved in Frame.io, Zapier will automatically upload the project or video content to Dropbox in a designated team folder. This eliminates the manual handoff process, ensuring team members have access to the right assets immediately and securely.
Business OwnerSync video updates to project documentation
When a video file is updated in Dropbox, Zapier will create a comment or update an asset’s info in Frame.io reflecting the new details. This keeps engineering teams aligned when videos are used for knowledge sharing or demonstrations.
EngineeringArchive old video projects automatically
When an asset in Frame.io is updated to a status indicating completion or archival, Zapier will move the associated video file to a specific folder in Dropbox to organize and store completed projects systematically. This streamlines project cleanup and ensures content is never lost.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dropbox + Frame.io integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Dropbox and Frame.io
How do I set up the integration between Dropbox and Frame.io?
To integrate Dropbox with Frame.io, you can use our platform to create an automated workflow. Start by setting up a trigger event in Frame.io, such as a new asset being uploaded. Then, create an action in Dropbox where a corresponding file or folder is created or updated. Link your accounts through our platform as prompted during setup.
Can I automatically upload files from Frame.io to Dropbox?
Yes, you can automatically upload files from Frame.io to Dropbox by creating a trigger in our integration platform. Set the trigger as 'New File Uploaded' in Frame.io and define the action as 'Upload File' in Dropbox. This way, each time a file is uploaded in Frame.io, it will be automatically transferred to your specified Dropbox folder.
Is it possible to organize videos in Dropbox based on specific actions taken in Frame.io?
Absolutely! You can set triggers like 'Video Approved' or 'Comment Added' in Frame.io, and have corresponding actions such as moving the video to a specific folder within Dropbox. This helps keep your video assets organized based on their status or feedback received.
Can changes made in Dropbox be reflected back into Frame.io?
Currently, our integration focuses primarily on transferring assets from Frame.io to Dropbox rather than vice versa. This means that changes made directly within Dropbox won't trigger automatic updates back into Frame.io through our standard integrations.
What types of files can be transferred from Frame.io to Dropbox using this integration?
This integration supports the transfer of all file types available within both platforms. Whether it's videos, images, PDFs, or other document types stored in Frame.io, they can all be backed up to your linked Dropbox account seamlessly.
Do I need any special permissions for integrating my accounts?
Yes, you'll need administrative permissions on both your Dropbox and Frame.io accounts to authorize and link them within our platform securely. Ensure you have access rights before beginning the setup process.
Is there a way to automate notifications when new content is added from one service into another?
Certainly! By setting up notifications as part of the workflow automation process—perhaps using triggers like 'New Asset Added'—you can receive alerts whenever new content is moved between your linked services, keeping you informed of updates across platforms.
