Dropbox and Gmail integration
Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for Dropbox and Gmail and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Data & Storage, workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.
How to connect Dropbox and Gmail
Create a new workflow and add the first step
In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.
