1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Google Drive and Dropbox Integration

To begin the process of automatically uploading Google Drive files in Dropbox, you need to set up Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and signing in to your account. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and get 100 tasks every month. Once logged in, you will see the dashboard where you can access various applications.

Click on the ‘Access Now’ button under Pabbly Connect. This action will take you to the Pabbly Connect dashboard where you can create a new workflow. To initiate the automation process, click on the top right corner button that says ‘Create Workflow’.

2. Creating a New Workflow to Upload Files Automatically

In this step, you will create a workflow specifically for uploading Google Drive files to Dropbox using Pabbly Connect. A dialog box will appear asking for a workflow name. Name it ‘Automatically Upload Google Drive Files in Dropbox’. Next, select the folder where you want to save this workflow by clicking on the dropdown arrow.

• Enter the name of your workflow.
• Select the appropriate folder for saving your workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize your workflow.

After creating the workflow, you will see two windows labeled ‘Trigger’ and ‘Action’. The ‘Trigger’ window is where you will set the conditions for the automation, while the ‘Action’ window is where you define what happens when the trigger occurs, all facilitated by Pabbly Connect.

3. Configuring the Trigger for Google Drive

Now, you need to configure the trigger step in Pabbly Connect to monitor your Google Drive folder. Click on the dropdown arrow in the Trigger application section and select ‘Google Drive’. Then, choose the trigger event as ‘New File in Specific Folder’. This ensures that Pabbly Connect will react whenever a new file is uploaded to your specified Google Drive folder.

After selecting the trigger event, click on ‘Connect’. A new window will prompt you to add a new connection. Choose ‘Sign in with Google’ and allow the necessary permissions. Once authorized, select the folder you want to monitor, such as ‘Important Files’. After this, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm the setup.

4. Setting Up the Action to Upload Files to Dropbox

Following the trigger configuration, it’s time to set up the action step in Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Dropbox’ as the action application and choose ‘Upload File’ as the action event. Next, click on ‘Connect’ and authorize Dropbox to work with Pabbly Connect.

In the action setup, you will need to provide the file URL, which you can map from the previous step. Click on the field to insert the data from the Google Drive trigger. Also, specify the folder path in Dropbox where the files will be uploaded, such as ‘Important Files’. Finally, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to complete the action setup.

5. Testing the Integration Between Google Drive and Dropbox

After setting up both the trigger and action in Pabbly Connect, it’s crucial to test the integration. Upload a new file to your designated Google Drive folder. Once the file is uploaded, Pabbly Connect should capture this event and automatically upload the same file to your Dropbox folder.

To verify the success of the integration, check your Dropbox folder for the newly uploaded file. If everything is set up correctly, you will see the same file available there, confirming that the automation between Google Drive and Dropbox via Pabbly Connect is functioning properly.
