Dropbox Integration

Keep every contract in the folders your team already syncs

Connect CLMS 360 to Dropbox so contract documents, versions, and shared folders stay wherever your team already stores files — no duplicate copies, no separate sync to manage.

Why connect them

Contracts stay in sync with the files your team already shares

Once Dropbox and CLMS 360 are linked, contract files, versions, and shared folder access follow the same structure as everything else your team keeps in Dropbox.

No duplicate document copies

Contract documents live in Dropbox as the single source of truth — CLMS 360 references the file instead of storing a separate copy.

Version history stays intact

Every redline and revision is a Dropbox file version, so the full drafting history is preserved without exporting side copies.

Shared folder permissions carry over

Dropbox shared folder access carries over to the contract record, so access control doesn't need to be set up twice.

Signed contracts file back automatically

Once a contract is fully executed, the completed document is stored back to the matching Dropbox folder without manual upload.

File request links for signers

External counterparties can be sent a Dropbox file request for supporting documents, without giving them access to your full folder.

Admin-controlled folder mapping

Choose exactly which Dropbox folders sync to which contract types, without engineering involvement.

Setup

Live in three steps

Connect once with OAuth, choose your folder mapping, and the sync runs in the background from then on.

  1. Connect your Dropbox account

    An admin authorizes the connection through Dropbox's OAuth consent screen using your existing team account. No API keys to generate or store.

  2. Map folders and contract types

    Match CLMS 360 contract types to Dropbox folders, and choose whether documents are referenced in place or copied on execution.

  3. Turn on sync

    New and existing contracts start syncing immediately, with shared folder permissions applied from day one.

Common questions

Dropbox integration, answered

Does CLMS 360 store its own copy of the document, or reference the Dropbox file?

By default, CLMS 360 references the file in place in Dropbox. You can optionally configure a copy-on-execution rule for completed contracts if your process requires it.

Do Dropbox shared folder permissions carry over automatically?

Yes. Shared folder access set in Dropbox is inherited by the linked contract record, so access control only needs to be managed in one place.

Can external counterparties submit documents without a Dropbox account?

Yes. CLMS 360 can send a Dropbox file request link, letting counterparties upload supporting documents without needing their own account or access to your folder.

Does this require a Dropbox developer app or custom scripting?

No. The integration uses Dropbox's standard OAuth 2.0 and platform APIs. No custom app or scripting is required for standard folder sync.

Can we control which folders sync, and how?

Yes. Every folder mapping is configured individually by contract type, and can be changed at any time by a CLMS 360 admin.
