How to export data from Dropbox

Moving off Dropbox? Here is how to export your documents and set them up in an Octopus data room, with page-level analytics, watermarking, and access control on a flat rate.

  1. 1
    Export your files from Dropbox

    In Dropbox, select the deal folder and Download as a ZIP, or use your Dropbox app's local copy.

  2. 2
    Create your Octopus account and a data room

    Sign up, then create a room and (optionally) folders to organize the document set for each party.

  3. 3
    Upload the documents

    Drag in your PDFs and Office files. Office files convert to PDF automatically, and HTML is supported, so the set is ready to share.

  4. 4
    Set access and protection

    Require a verified email, add an NDA, turn on dynamic watermarking, set an expiry, and decide who can download.

  5. 5
    Share the tracked link and watch engagement

    Send each party its own link, then see who opened what, which pages they read, and who came back.
