Dropbox and HTTP Request integration

n8n lets you integrate Dropbox with HTTP Request to build powerful workflows. Design automation that extracts, transforms and loads data between your apps and services. You can choose from thousands of ready-made apps or use our universal HTTP connector to sync apps not yet in our library.

Integrate Dropbox and HTTP Request

Build your own Dropbox and HTTP Request integration

Create custom Dropbox and HTTP Request workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.

n8n workflow backup management with Dropbox and Airtable

This workflow can be used to save all of your workflows in:

  1. a raw state (as a json file in Dropbox)
  2. an Airtable base, in a pre-designed format.

It runs periodically (currently, every 30 minutes) and either updates (if already existing in Airtable) or creates a new record in Airtable for each workflow.

Here's the Airtable base to give you an idea:

Note: This workflows uses the "http://localhost:5678/rest" API which the UI editor uses but is still not officially supported. Hence, it may suffer breaking changes at some point in the future and the workflow might become dysfunctional then.
