Key features

Send Without Leaving Dropbox

Right-click any supported file and send it as a fax in seconds

Secure OAuth Authorization

Connect your Dropbox once through secure OAuth. Your files stay private.

Pay Only on Success

Like all PayPerFax services, you only pay when your fax transmits successfully

​
How it works

First time only: You’ll authorize PayPerFax to access your Dropbox files through a secure OAuth connection. This one-time authorization takes seconds and ensures your files remain private.
1

Right-click and share

Navigate to any folder in dropbox.com containing a PDF, DOC, DOCX, JPG, or TIF file. Right-click the file you want to fax, select “Share” from the context menu, then choose “Fax via PayPerFax”.
2

Enter fax number and preview

You’re redirected to PayPerFax where you enter the destination fax number and preview your fax. The preview shows exactly what will be sent and the guaranteed price.
3

Pay and send

Complete payment at $2.00 for up to 3 pages. Once paid, your fax transmits immediately and you receive email confirmation with a PDF copy.

​
