Dropbox StaffHi Laura42, thanks for contacting us!
Just to clarify, you're trying to upload files to your Dropbox account? From which device are you trying to do so?
I'm a little confused on what your plan is exactly, so could you describe it step-by-step for me?
This will help me to assist further!
so I receive video and documents that need to be uploaded to Dropbox for others to be able to review. right now the process is I open the video or docs download on my external hard drive then extract the zipped file, and upload to the drop box files. I am trying to see if their is a way to only upload to the drop box instead of using my hard drive.

Generally, when you receive a file, you need to save it to a location in order to be able to upload it to the site.
There may be some other apps or services that can help upload email attachments automatically to Dropbox.
I have a similar problem. I am downloading files from a website to my hard drive and then upload them to Dropbox. How can I download them directly to Dropbox without saving them to my hard drive first? I can change the download location of files in my browser. How do I make that location a Dropbox folder? Thanks.
