Dropbox is a cloud-based storage platform that allows users to store, share, and access files securely from any device.
It supports various file types, including documents, images, videos, and media files with automatic syncing across devices.
With the Cloud Storage Manager free plugin (by FluentWiz, a WP Manage Ninja–approved agency), Dropbox can be connected to Fluent Forms Pro seamlessly.
The Dropbox integration with Fluent Forms Pro stores uploaded files and images in Dropbox. It uses your website’s local storage only temporarily during the upload process. You can enable the option to automatically delete the file from your website’s local storage within the Cloud Storage Manager settings if you do not want to save a local copy.
