What Is ForGravity Entry Automation Dropbox Extension?
ForGravity Entry Automation Dropbox Extension is developed by ForGravity and is an automation plugin for WordPress. It acts as a bridge between the core Entry Automation plugin and your Dropbox storage account. It belongs to the automation category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for optimizing site workflows.
The plugin solves the problem of local data silos by pushing form exports to a centralized cloud location. It is designed for site owners and managers who need to share form data with team members or maintain off-site backups of form submissions.
ForGravity Entry Automation Dropbox Extension Features
The extension’s feature set is built around providing a stable, authenticated link between your WordPress site and the Dropbox API.
Automated File Transfer
As soon as an export task finishes, the plugin uploads the resulting CSV or Excel file to your specified folder. This happens in the background, making it ideal for large-scale data handling. Users can link this with the forms workflow to ensure no data is left solely on the web server.
Path Customization and Validation
The plugin includes a dedicated Dropbox Settings tab within the task configuration screen. You can define the exact destination path in your Dropbox account where files should be stored. The interface features live validation to confirm the export file can reach the defined path before you save the task.
Simple OAuth Authentication
The extension utilizes a straightforward authentication flow that allows you to connect your site to Dropbox without handling complex API keys manually. After clicking a single button in settings, you are redirected to Dropbox to authorize the app, then returned to your site to finish setup.

Use Cases
Off-Site Data Backups

Streamlining Team Workflows
Marketing and sales teams often rely on form data but may not have access to the WordPress backend. By automatically pushing files to a shared Dropbox folder, team members can access lead information instantly via their desktop or mobile devices.
