Referenced Dropbox

When Dropbox is referenced in some other application, field setup is required. Follow the steps to setup the referenced field that is Dropbox.

1. As in the image below, In the field setup the referenced app should have Dropbox in it.
2. In Item folder name, choose text or number from the adjacent drop down and add prefix and suffix to the item folder name to make the item folder name unique. (Only text and number fields of the application can be used to create the Item folder name)
3. Click on "Add Folder" to create folders/ subfolders and structure the folder and subfolders as per your requirement. Click Save to save the configurations. 

Only the members added to the domain will be able to see what have been shared by the admin from Dropbox.




Things to remember :

1. The folders/ Sub folders can be renamed and moved to other folders anytime but this is not recommended.
2. The names used for the folders should be unique. An item folder name can be created only using the text and number fields but prefixes  suffixes can be used to make the name unique.
3. Any changes made in the folder name will not be applied to the existing items but will be applied to the new items created.
