# Send Shopify Order Upload Files to Dropbox 4 min setup No coding required Runs automatically Streamline file management and improve team collaboration by automatically sending Uploadery files from Shopify orders to Dropbox. This MESA workflow template transfers customer-uploaded files to your Dropbox account whenever an order is placed, ensuring easy access for your team and enhancing organization. Save time and simplify file sharing without manual uploads. ## How it works 3 steps to start automatically saving Shopify order upload files to your Dropbox storage ### New Uploadery Order App connector: [Uploadery](/content/apps/uploadery/integrate "View Uploadery integration page"/index.html)• Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured) **Why this matters:** This trigger monitors your Shopify store for new orders that contain file uploads through Uploadery, ensuring every customer file gets captured automatically without manual checking. When a customer places an order with uploaded files (like custom designs, artwork, or documents), this trigger activates the workflow and collects all the upload data from that order. The trigger specifically looks for Uploadery upload fields, which means it will only fire when orders actually contain customer file uploads. It passes the file URLs and order information to the next steps for processing. ### Loop Through Uploaded Files App connector: [Loop](/content/apps/loop/integrate "View Loop integration page"/index.html)• Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured) **Why this matters:** This step handles orders with multiple file uploads by processing each uploaded file individually, ensuring no files get missed regardless of how many a customer uploads. The Loop step takes the collection of uploaded files from the trigger and creates individual processing cycles for each file. If a customer uploads 3 files with their order, this step will run the subsequent Dropbox save action 3 separate times - once for each file. This prevents files from being skipped or overwritten and maintains the integrity of multi-file orders. ### Save File to Dropbox App connector: [Dropbox](/content/apps/dropbox/integrate "View Dropbox integration page"/index.html)• Time to complete: 2 minutes **Why this matters:** This action downloads each customer file from Shopify and stores it in your Dropbox account with proper organization, creating a reliable backup system for all order-related uploads. The Save File step connects to your Dropbox account and downloads each file using the URL provided by the loop. You’ll need to configure your Dropbox connection and specify the file path where uploads should be stored (the default path uses the original filename). The step processes each file individually, maintaining the original file format and name while organizing them in your designated Dropbox folder structure. ## Frequently asked questions ### What file types and sizes does this workflow support? The workflow handles any file type that Uploadery supports in your Shopify store, including images, PDFs, documents, and design files. File size limits depend on your Uploadery app settings and Dropbox storage capacity, but typical customer uploads process without issues. ### Will files be organized in Dropbox or just dumped in one folder? By default, files are saved to your root Dropbox folder using their original filenames. However, you can customize the file path in the Save File step to create organized folder structures, such as sorting by order number, customer name, or upload date. ### What happens if the same customer uploads files with identical names in different orders? Dropbox will automatically rename duplicate files by adding numbers (like “design.pdf” becomes “design (1).pdf”), preventing overwrites. To avoid this, consider customizing the file path to include order numbers or timestamps in the filename structure. ## Make this template your own!
