Action - Dropbox Download Files

The action Dropbox Download Files downloads multiple files and directories recursively to your device.

Warning: This action downloads all specified files and overwrites already existing target files. The files will be downloaded even when the same file already exists on the device.

Warning: Dropbox limits the amount of data each user can transfer.

 

Examples:
  • Download each morning the newest file of keypass containing your passwords to ensure you have the newest offline copy available.
