1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start the Dropbox to OneDrive integration, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Visit the Pabbly website and navigate to the products section. Click on Pabbly Connect to reach the dashboard.

Once on the dashboard, you can create a new account or sign in to your existing account. After signing in, locate the ‘Create Workflow’ button at the top right corner. This is where you will begin setting up the integration between Dropbox and OneDrive.


2. Creating a Workflow to Connect Dropbox and OneDrive

In this step, you will create a workflow named ‘Dropbox to OneDrive’ using Pabbly Connect. After clicking on ‘Create Workflow’, you will see two windows: one for the trigger and one for the action.

  • Select Dropbox as the app in the trigger window.
  • Choose ‘New File’ as the trigger event.
  • Connect your Dropbox account to Pabbly Connect.

Once connected, specify the folder path in Dropbox where the new files will be uploaded. This setup ensures that every time a new file is added to the specified folder, Pabbly Connect will trigger the next steps.


3. Uploading Files to OneDrive via Pabbly Connect

After setting up the trigger, it’s time to configure the action to upload files to OneDrive using Pabbly Connect. Select OneDrive as the action app and choose ‘Upload File’ as the action event.

Connect your OneDrive account to Pabbly Connect by granting the necessary permissions. You will then need to specify the destination folder in OneDrive where the files will be uploaded. Make sure to create a new folder if needed, such as ‘New Data Storage’.

  • Map the file name and file URL from the Dropbox trigger.
  • Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the setup.

Once the test is successful, check your OneDrive account to confirm that the file has been uploaded correctly.


4. Verifying the Integration Success

To ensure that the integration between Dropbox and OneDrive is working smoothly, check the OneDrive folder where you set up the upload. Using Pabbly Connect, you should see the newly uploaded file appear shortly after it is added to Dropbox.

Remember, there may be a slight delay in the file transfer depending on the size of the file and network conditions. After refreshing the OneDrive folder, confirm that the file is indeed present.

In case of any issues, revisit the workflow settings in Pabbly Connect to ensure everything is configured correctly. This step is crucial for troubleshooting any potential problems.
