How do I save Microsoft Outlook emails and folders to Dropbox?

I am trying to figure out an easy way to save my Microsoft Outlook emails and folders to Dropbox. Is there an easy way to do it?

    Rich - the eval is free and if it works for Lynette...  There simply isn't a good way to do this with Native Dropbox - it is hardly advertising and it is specifically to keep that email on dropbox which I would have thought you'd welcome..

    Rich I tried what you suggested above but couldn't send or receive.

    I closed Outlook, moved the Outlook directory to DropBox.  Opened Outlook and directed it to the new location.  My email folders opened fine.  But I got a send and receive error.  I opened the account settings and everything looked fine.  I closed Outlook and moved the folder back.  Directed Outlook back to the original location and everything worked fine.

    I'm using Windows 7 and Office 16.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Bill

    You need to google where your email folders are stored and put them in the Dropbox folder to let them sync - and possibly also tell Outlook where they are.

    You cant download them all - gmail is a web based platform it isnt designed to work on a computer. 

    You may be able to download individual emails, however, but you'd need to ask Google how to download / save them and then put each one inside Dropbox

    Hi,

     

    Please have a look at the Repstor integration for Dropbox, this might solve your problem.

     

    Cheers,

    I need to send some large local files in Outlook to Dropbox, but when I click and drag the files from Outlook to Dropbox it doesn't work.  Any ideas how I can attach these files/folders to Dropbox please?
