    Hi Guido,

     

    First off sendtodropbox.com is not us and is in now way associated with Dropbox, so I really recommend not inputting any personal data into that website.

     

    Secondly why do you need to email to your Dropbox account? You can add files to your Dropbox account in a number of ways, you can use the desktop application by just dragging and dropping files in the Dropbox folder on your computer and they will be uploaded automaticallly for you.

     

    You can also use the web uploader to add files to your account, so if you are on any computer, you login to your account and upload files, just make sure to logout again if it's not your computer. ;)

     

    We have a super nice Help Centre article here showing you how to upload to your account.

I was just going to add Zapier to the list mkp101. 

 

In terms of the API question yes they do offer this as an API (because others are already using it - Zapier and SendToDropbox as examples), but, can I suggest asking any questions about it (how etc.) directly via the API Forum area? The team there are spot on!
