Why Dropbox Integration in v2.7.0 Is a Big Deal?
This powerful new capability allows you to instantly connect your WordPress file manager with your Dropbox account, giving you full access to upload, sync, and manage files across both platforms in real-time. Whether you’re pushing backups to the cloud or pulling assets into your site, it all happens from a single, unified dashboard.
Here’s what makes this integration such a valuable addition:
- Real-Time Sync — Upload a file in Dropbox, and it’s instantly accessible in WordPress.
- Cloud Backups — Backup important WordPress files directly to Dropbox without extra plugins.
- Streamlined Workflow — Work directly with cloud files in your file manager—no manual transfers needed.
- Secure & Reliable — Dropbox’s robust API integration ensures a safe, encrypted connection for all your file operations.
And the best part? It’s exclusive to Pro users—so if you haven’t upgraded yet, now’s the perfect time.
Ready to ditch the old back-and-forth routine and manage your files like a pro? This is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for.
How Dropbox Integration Improves Real-World Workflows
Let’s face it—manual file uploads, repeated downloads, and constant switching between WordPress and external cloud storage are a productivity killer. That’s why our new Dropbox integration isn’t just a cool feature—it’s a genuine workflow revolution.
Here’s how Dropbox Driver Integration makes a real difference:
- For Developers: Stop juggling between environments. Push logs, theme backups, or staging files straight from WordPress to Dropbox without leaving your dashboard. Share code or configurations with clients or team members in seconds.
- For Content Creators & Website Managers: Upload once, access everywhere. Whether you’re managing a blog, portfolio, or media-heavy site, you can now drag and drop your files into Dropbox and immediately use them on WordPress—without extra steps.
- For Agencies & Teams: Centralized asset management. Share folders via Dropbox, let your team handle content externally, and then sync it back into WordPress when ready. No duplicate uploads. No version control headaches.
In short, Dropbox is more than a storage tool—it’s a strategic extension of your WordPress setup. And with Advanced File Manager Pro v2.7.0, it’s now baked right into your workflow.

Step #4: Apply for Production Status
- Go back to the app’s Settings tab and click Apply for Production.
