Automatically export inspection reports to Dropbox
Learn how to automatically export inspection reports to Dropbox.
How does the export inspection report integration work?
Inspection reports that get exported are based on the inspections, which the account that sets up the integration has access to. If you're an administrator, you can give yourself inspection access or assign yourself the "Override permissions: View all data" permission to have visibility over all inspections in your organization.
Inspection reports that are exported to the cloud storage, such as SharePoint, follow a folder structure of "SafetyCulture / [site name] / [template title] / [yyyy-mm]". The SafetyCulture folder name is static to help you identify where the data is coming from.

Frequently asked questions
No, it's not possible to change the folder structure using this direct integration. However, our SafetyCulture Integration Builder can give you the flexibility to customize integrations in whatever way that works for you.
You can change where to export your inspection reports anytime by editing your integration connection.

Now that you've updated the integration, newly completed inspections will be automatically exported to the new folder location.
If an inspection doesn't have a title, it'll be exported and named using its audit_id. We recommend that you set up an inspection title format for each template, so that inspections can be named following a convention.
If an inspection doesn't have a site selected, it'll be exported to a folder called "No Site".
Yes. If an exported inspection report's file and folder path exceeds 260 characters, the inspection will not be automatically exported to Dropbox via the integration.
The integration may have been turned off due to an authentication error. Either because the external account used for the integration no longer has access to the system or its permissions to make changes have been removed.
When this happens, an email would be sent to users with the "Platform management: Organization" permission to inform them about the error. To fix the problem, we recommend that you uninstall the integration and follow the instructions to install it again.
If you get a connection error while installing the integration, it's likely because your browser is blocking third-party cookies on SafetyCulture websites. To fix this, we recommend that you enable third-party cookies in your browser settings and try installing the integration again.
