RT::ExternalStorage::Dropbox
NAME
RT::ExternalStorage::Dropbox - Store files in the Dropbox cloud
SYNOPSIS
Set(%ExternalStorage,
Type => 'Dropbox',
AccessToken => '...',
);
DESCRIPTION
This storage option places attachments in the Dropbox shared file service. The files are de-duplicated when they are saved; as such, if the same file appears in multiple transactions, only one copy will be stored in Dropbox.
Files in Dropbox must not be modified or removed; doing so may cause internal inconsistency. It is also important to ensure that the Dropbox account used has sufficient space for the attachments, and to monitor its space usage.
