How To Upload Dropbox Files In Contact Form 7

The File Manager for Dropbox plugin now supports integration with Contact Form 7 (CF7). This allows users to upload files directly to your Dropbox account through a CF7 form, using your specified folder structure and naming format.

Step 1: Enable CF7 Integration

Go to Settings > Integration > Contact Form 7 inside the plugin dashboard. CF7 integration is now active.

Step 2: Add a Dropbox Upload Tag in CF7

Edit your Contact Form 7 form and add the “Dropbox Upload” tag. Then click on “Configure Uploader” to set up the upload settings. You can choose target folders and configure various features.

Step 3: Configure Module Settings

• Source: Select the Dropbox folder where files will be uploaded.
• Filter:
  • Allow all Extensions: Specify accepted file types.
  • Max & Min File Size (MB): Define the allowed file size range.
  • Allow Multiple Uploads: Enable or disable multiple file uploads.
• Advanced:
  • Enable Folder Upload: Allow users to upload entire folders.
  • Upload Immediately: (Important) If disabled, files upload first, then the form is submitted.
  • Naming Format: Define a custom naming convention for uploaded files.
• Permission:
  • Display Options: Choose visibility—either public or restricted to specific logged-in users.
  • Visitor Message: Show a custom message to users.

Step 4: Add the Form Shortcode

Copy the form’s shortcode and paste it into any page, post, or widget where you want the form to appear. That’s it! Your Contact Form 7 is now integrated with Dropbox file uploads via the File Manager plugin for Dropbox.
