Freshservice's integration with Dropbox allows easy and simple file sharing between your Dropbox account and your service desk. It lets users attach files from their Dropbox attachments into the ticket conversation. For example, it makes it easy for customers when they share a screencast video, or for agents when they forward a PDF invoice to clients.
For an agent, the Dropbox folder which was originally linked to Freshservice (by the Administrator) shows up, allowing shared access to the entire team. On the other hand, each requester has to sign-in with their own accounts to attach their own files. Attachments made from Dropbox aren't stored in Freshservice and are directly hot linked from the original source, thereby removing file size restrictions and file upload difficulties for users.
Once the Dropbox app has been installed, an Attach from Dropbox button will show up in the new ticket form, and also while users try to reply to a ticket.
