If you can adapt it to work with this plugin I’ll happily add it for others to benefit from the feature. * I’ll add this to the wishlist for the future but can’t guarantee any timeframes or if it’s even still possible. * Plugin Author [ovann86](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovann86/) * (@ovann86) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-plugin-1669/#post-8115795) * Hi, * There’s currently not an option to upload to a third-party, but you can enable import to the WordPress media library.

I created a new filter (in my development copy) that does the copy straight after the upload, it makes the upload slower but at least it’s only one file instead of having to wait for a whole form of files. * Scope creep would be an issue – do you keep a copy of the files on the server, or do you delete them after they’re copied, do you provide an option for both, do you verify the dropbox copy before deleting, do you change the links to the files in the form to point to the Dropbox copy, what happens when a user deletes the file from the form – do you delete the copy from dropbox and/or the server etc etc. * What I’m thinking of doing, if you have the capacity to write this functionality, is create an action that you can use directly after the upload has completed. * Other than the filter, I don’t think syncing to dropbox is something I can work on in the short to medium term. At a guess, it could be anywhere between 5 – 10 hours to do it right and test. * Let me know if you’re interested in me adding the filter in.
