Dropbox integration

# Share your Dropbox files with tracking and protection

**Short answer:** Yes – in HelpRange you pick files in the Dropbox chooser and each one becomes a tracked, protected link (page analytics, download blocking, watermarks, NDA). HelpRange gets links only to the files you pick, copies them (no live sync), and a whole Dropbox folder can be imported into a data room as a ZIP with its folders.

Your decks, contracts and deal folders are in Dropbox. Pick them in HelpRange and send a secure link instead of a Dropbox share link: see who read which page, block downloads, add watermarks and ask for an NDA before access.

### Add files from Dropbox

The Dropbox file chooser opens in HelpRange – pick one file or many and they are added to your folder or data room.

### See who read what

Every file gets a tracked link: who opened it, for how long and which pages – instead of an anonymous Dropbox link.

### Protection Dropbox links do not have

Block downloads and printing, dynamic watermarks with the viewer’s e-mail, passcode, expiry date, views limit and NDA before access.

### Move a Dropbox data room

Download a Dropbox folder as a ZIP – or pick a ZIP stored in Dropbox – and import it into a data room. Folders and their order are kept.

### HelpRange sees only what you pick

The Dropbox chooser gives HelpRange temporary links to the files you select – HelpRange never gets access to your Dropbox account.

## Import, not sync – what that means

### A copy of what you pick

HelpRange copies the files you select and stores them encrypted in Frankfurt, Germany. Your Dropbox stays as it is – nothing is moved or shared there.

### No live sync

Edits in Dropbox do not reach HelpRange by themselves. Pick the file again or upload a new version with the same name – every link to it shows the new version.

### Folders come as a ZIP

The chooser picks files, not folders. To bring a whole folder tree, download it from Dropbox as a ZIP and import it into a data room.

 How it works

**1. Open a folder or data room**

Click “Add from Dropbox” – or “Import data room” to bring a whole room.

**2. Pick files in Dropbox**

Sign in to Dropbox in the chooser and select the files.

**3. Send the tracked link**

Each file gets a protected link with your folder’s settings – share it and watch the analytics.

 Adding files from Dropbox to a folder works on every plan, including the trial. Importing into a data room needs a plan with data rooms: Pro (up to 3 rooms), Max, Unlimited or the Deal Room Pass. Up to 100 MB per file with full protection. [Plans & pricing](https://www.helprange.com/pricing)

FAQ

## Dropbox integration – questions

Does HelpRange get access to my whole Dropbox?

No. You pick files in the Dropbox chooser, and Dropbox gives HelpRange short-lived links to those files only. HelpRange never signs in to your Dropbox account.

Do changes in Dropbox update the shared document?

No – HelpRange shares a copy, so readers see exactly what you sent. To share a newer version, pick the file again or upload a file with the same name; all its links show the new version.

Can I import a whole Dropbox folder?

Yes, into a data room: download the folder from Dropbox as a ZIP (or pick a ZIP stored in Dropbox) and use “Import data room”. Folders, file names and order are kept.

Can I use Dropbox as a data room?

For informal sharing, yes – but a Dropbox link has no NDA step, no watermark with the viewer’s e-mail and no page-by-page tracking. HelpRange adds those to the files you pick from Dropbox.

Which files can I pick?

PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, video and other files, up to 100 MB each with full protection. Documents and images open in the protected viewer with page analytics.
