Seamlessly copy your important docs from Dropbox to Drive without lifting a finger.

  • Execute the task periodically
  • Get the first file in a folder (dropbox → get_first_in_a_folder)
  • Save file to Drive (drive → upload_file)

Manually transferring your text files from Dropbox to Google Drive isn't just repetitive—it’s a real productivity killer. Each time you create and save a new file in Dropbox, you have to remember to download it, log into your Drive, upload the document, and organize it correctly. Skipping this step, or forgetting just once, could mean lost documents, team confusion, wasted time searching for files, and real risks to your workflow reliability and file backup strategy.

This Botize formula solves that headache by connecting Dropbox and Google Drive for you. Every day—on a schedule you set—it checks your chosen Dropbox folder for new text documents, then instantly saves them as Docs in your Google Drive. No more missed uploads, manual copy-paste routines, or version mix-ups: your files are always right where you need them, perfectly synced and available for collaborators or backup. Adjust the frequency, target folder, and file types so the automation fits your team’s unique needs, minimizing manual errors and maximizing file visibility across platforms.

Ready to stop babysitting your files and let Botize handle the busywork? Follow the step-by-step guide below or use this formula as-is for instant results. Your time and documents deserve a smarter workflow—let’s automate it!
