Requirement:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A XYZ company is an Accounting firm which manages many clients (Account). Currently, all the files or attachments of all the accounts are stored in Salesforce and accounting person manually download the files\/attachments and upload them on dropbox Account.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Is there a way to manually sync few selected files or attachments from Salesforce to dropbox?<\/li>\n
  2. Can we access the dropbox files directly in Salesforce without logging into dropbox account once the files are synced?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    As Files or Attachments of any object’s record can be “Manually-Synced<\/strong>” to “dropbox<\/strong>” account, so we need to perform below steps to perform “Manual-Sync<\/strong>” functionality using File ZIPO:<\/p>\n

    Step 1:<\/strong> Add or Configure a new dropbox Account in File ZIPO
    \nStep 2:<\/strong> Define the objects & folder which needs to be Synced across Salesforce &dropbox
    \nStep 3:<\/strong> Manually Sync files or attachment from the File ZIPO UI
    \nStep 4:<\/strong> Add the FileZIPO Sync Component on the Object’s record page to access Sync records<\/p>\n

    (Note:<\/strong> Please skip step 1, if you already have a dropbox Account added in File ZIPO)
    \n(Note:<\/strong> Please skip step 2, if you already have a Sync & folder defined for an Object)
    \n(Note:<\/strong> User can skip the step 4, if the File ZIPO Sync Component is already added on object’s layout)<\/p>\n

    Let’s go through all the above steps one by one to Configure Manual-Sync using File ZIPO.<\/p>\n

    Step 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    User can easily add any dropbox account in few simple steps. Please refer this detailed blog to add a dropbox Account in File ZIPO<\/p>\n

    https:\/\/www.filezipo.io\/how-to-add-a-new-dropbox-account-in-the-file-zipo\/<\/a><\/p>\n

    \"easily<\/p>\n

    Step 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Once the “DropBox” account is added in File ZIPO “Manage External Accounts” tab, then click on the “Manual Sync & Folders” on the same page to configure the Objects on which “Sync” needs to be enabled.<\/p>\n

    (Note: Please skip step 2, if you already have a Sync & folder defined for an Object)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    \"Manage<\/p>\n

    Click “New”<\/strong> button on the “Define Sync & Folders table”<\/strong>. Once clicked, it will display a popup.<\/p>\n

    2. Select the Folder path on existing DropBox account (or can create new using step 3)<\/li>\n
    3. Enter the name of the Folder in which Files or Attachment will be saved<\/li>\n
    4. Select Single or Multiple Object for which sync needs to be enabled<\/li>\n
    5. Enable<\/strong> or Disable<\/strong> this checkbox in order to prevent manual Sync.<\/li>\n
    6. Enable<\/strong> or Disable<\/strong> this checkbox in order to prevent Auto-Sync.<\/li>\n
    7. If user wants to delete the file or attachment from Salesforce when it is successfully synced,
      \njust check this checkbox.<\/strong><\/li>\n
    8. Enable or Disable this checkbox in order to prevent override existing files.<\/li>\n
    9. Once all the above configurations are ready, click on “Save Folder” to define the Object and its folder structure.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Step 3:<\/strong> Click on “Backup \/ Sync Files” tab<\/p>\n

      \"Backup<\/p>\n

      It will open screen like below Image<\/p>\n
