Automate converting XLSX files to CSV files in a Dropbox folder

Hello,

 

I was wondering if there was a pre-made way of automating the process of converting XLSX files to CSV files in a Dropbox Directory?

 

Maybe an app or something like - rather than having to write a custom Python script using the Dropbox SDK....

 

Any help would be gratefully appreciated!

    Hey geor, thanks for joining our Community.

     

    At the moment, there's no Dropbox way, automated or otherwise, of converting .xlsx files to .cvs files.

     

    You can convert other types of files to .jpg, .png, .pdf, or .mov and .mp4, but not .xlsx ones.

     

    You're welcome to post an idea about it on our idea board.

     

    Let me know if you have any questions!

    Unfortunately, there is no pre-made way to automate the process of converting XLSX files to CSV files in a Dropbox Directory. You would need to use the Dropbox SDK and write a custom Python Script.
