Automatically export inspection reports to Dropbox
Learn how to automatically export inspection reports to SharePoint.
Take note
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 are exported to Dropbox following a foldering 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.
If you want to export inspection reports to a shared folder, you'll need the "Can edit" permission at a minimum.

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 by re-authenticating your Dropbox connection.
Go to the integration.
Click Edit on the right-hand side of "Dropbox".
In the pop-up window, click Disconnect to authenticate your Dropbox connection again.
Select where you want to export your inspection reports.
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.
