Easy Digital Downloads - Dropbox

Selling digital products means keeping every file safe, current and ready for customers. Storing those files on your own host can add server load and leave you exposed if something fails. This plugin links your Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) store to Dropbox, so product files are uploaded to your Dropbox account as you add them to the store.

Once connected, files live in Dropbox folders where you can update, categorize and find them when needed. Offloading storage to Dropbox reduces the work your server does and keeps a backup copy of your products. The plugin suits stores with a growing product library that want routine file tasks handled automatically, with a setup that does not call for advanced technical skills.

Features

• Automatic file syncing: Digital products are uploaded to Dropbox as soon as they are added to your EDD store, so your files are backed up without a separate manual step.
• Cloud storage for product files: Your digital assets sit in Dropbox and use its security measures, which lowers the risk of losing files if your local host has a problem.
• Organized Dropbox folders: Product files are arranged within Dropbox folders, which makes it easier to update, categorize and retrieve them whenever you need to.
• Reduced server load: Moving file storage to Dropbox takes pressure off your server and cuts bandwidth use, since downloads are delivered from the cloud.
• Continuous backup: Products are backed up to Dropbox on an ongoing basis, which helps guard against accidental loss or corrupted files in your store.
• Simple setup interface: A user-friendly interface connects Easy Digital Downloads and Dropbox, so you can get going without advanced technical skills.
• Room for growing libraries: Dropbox cloud storage handles larger product catalogs, which suits businesses that keep adding to their digital offerings over time.
• Dropbox team space handling: The plugin includes handling for Dropbox team space, and it uses native Easy Digital Downloads hooks for its authentication process.
