Connect Dropbox to Ormi
Dropbox is a backup destination, not a place Ormi keeps your files. When a job is completed or an invoice is paid, its photos and signed documents are copied into a dedicated Ormi app folder in your Dropbox, one way, with Ormi staying the system of record. The app you connect is registered in your own Dropbox account, so the storage is yours and no Ormi key is involved.
Dropbox + Ormi in detail
How to connect Dropbox to Ormi
Register an app in your own Dropbox
Dropbox App Console: create a Scoped Access app with App Folder access. App Folder, not Full Dropbox, is the point: Ormi gets one folder of its own and cannot see out of it.
Paste the key and secret into Ormi
Settings, then Integrations, then Dropbox. The app key and secret are stored against your company and encrypted. The drawer carries the exact redirect URI to paste back into Dropbox, byte-identical.
Connect, then finish a job
Press Connect and approve the app in Dropbox. The next job you complete queues its files; the queue drains every few minutes and the connection shows the last push.
How shops actually use it
Real workflows, not marketing bullets.
- A contractor who wants the photo record of a job in an account they own, not only in a vendor's
- A warranty claim that needs the before-and-after shots handed over as ordinary files
- An owner who keeps a years-long archive outside whatever software they happen to run
Dropbox integration questions
Would Ormi store my files in Dropbox instead of in Ormi?
No, and that is the whole design. Ormi stays the system of record and Dropbox gets a copy. Two systems both claiming to own a job photo is how a photo gets lost.
Could I attach a file that already lives in Dropbox to a job?
Not in this plan. The scoped feature is a copy out, not a file picker in.
Can I get my files out without connecting anything?
Yes. Download them from the job, the customer record or the mobile app. Dropbox is a second copy, not the way out.
Whose Dropbox storage does this use?
Yours. You register the app in your own Dropbox account and the copies count against your plan. Ormi holds no Dropbox key of its own, so there is no shared quota to run out of and nothing to bill back.
