Connecting to Dropbox

-
In the source file chooser, click the plus icon to add your Dropbox account.
-
Enter your Dropbox credentials.
-
Click Allow.
-
When connected, select files from Dropbox instead of uploading from local storage.
-
Continue with map the fields to complete your import task.
With Dataloader from MuleSoft, export data as CSV files to Dropbox. You can send result files to a folder in your Dropbox account. In the last step of the export wizard, add that destination folder.

-
Click Add Destination folder.
-
Select the checkbox labeled Send a copy of the results to this location.
-
Select the Dropbox tab.
-
Select your Dropbox connection and folder.
