The Dropbox integration adds Fax via PayPerFax to the Share menu on dropbox.com. You pick a file in Dropbox, and it opens in the PayPerFax form, ready to send. Price, payment, and delivery are the same as for a file you upload. More about the integration: Fax from Dropbox on payperfax.com.

Opens Dropbox to approve PayPerFax
Dropbox asks you to sign in and approve PayPerFax. PayPerFax never sees your Dropbox password. The connection is remembered in the browser you used. In another browser, or after you clear site data, you connect again.

​
Files and limits

  • Types: PDF, DOC, DOCX, TIF, JPEG, PNG, and Markdown, as for an upload. See File Requirements.
  • Size: 10 MB at most for all files of the fax together.
  • Where it works: the Dropbox website in a browser. The integration is not in the Dropbox desktop app.

​
Access and privacy

  • PayPerFax reads only the file you choose to fax. It does not list or browse your other files.
  • Dropbox shows the access you grant on its approval screen.
  • The file is copied to PayPerFax for the fax. Like an uploaded file, it is deleted 30 days after the fax, or within 2 days if you do not send it. See Security and data.
To remove PayPerFax’s access, open dropbox.com/account/connected_apps, find PayPerFax, and remove it.

​
Troubleshooting

Connect Dropbox first with the link above, in the same browser. Then reload dropbox.com.
The connection is stored per browser. Approve PayPerFax again; you return to the file you chose.
Export or save it as a PDF, compress it, or split it, then try again. See Common Issues.
