In this part of the video, the presenter demonstrates how to automatically transfer files from Dropbox to OneDrive. The process starts with uploading a JPG file named “BMW Vision” to Dropbox. The presenter explains that there is a delay before the file appears in OneDrive due to the time Dropbox takes to send data. To automate this file transfer, they use an integration and automation software called “P Connect,” which doesn’t require coding skills. The presenter logs into P Connect, shows how to create a new workflow named “Dropbox to OneDrive,” selects “Dropbox” as the trigger app, and sets “new file” as the trigger event. They mention they will provide a link to the workflow in the description box for viewers to clone and use directly.
