Using Dropbox with the Template Editor


Article Summary

Nexudus lets you connect your Dropbox to our template editor. This connection automatically transfers the following files to your Dropbox:

  • Custom pages
  • Email templates
  • Images

Once the connection is enabled, each of your Nexudus locations has its own folder within the Nexudus Spaces folder in Dropbox.

This connection lets you apply all your edits saved in Nexudus to the corresponding files in Dropbox. You can also apply all your edits saved in Dropbox to the corresponding files in Nexudus.

Connecting Dropbox and Nexudus

All you need to enable the connection is a Dropbox account and a full unrestricted admin account in Nexudus.

  1. Log in to dashboard.nexudus.com if you aren't already.

  2. Click Dropbox > Connect to Dropbox.

  3. Log in to your Dropbox account.

  4. Click Allow to let Nexudus connect to your Dropbox account.

Syncing your Nexudus Files in Dropbox

You can push any changes made to your template files in Nexudus to the corresponding files in your Dropbox account by simply clicking on Copy files to Dropbox.

This action automatically overwrites all the corresponding files in your Dropbox.
It can take a few minutes for your edits to appear in Dropbox.

Copying Template Folders in Multiple Locations Through Dropbox

Dropbox can also help you apply customisation from one of your location's template files to multiple other locations.

Once you're happy with your template file customization in one location, you can simply download the folder containing your files from Dropbox. You can then click on another one of your locations in Dropbox and upload the folder you've just downloaded in that location.

You need to repeat the folder upload in each location that should use the customized templates.

For example, you've edited all your email templates in one of your locations and you want to use the same templates in all your other locations.

You would download the customized Email Templates folder from that first location in Dropbox.

You would then upload the folders you've just downloaded in the relevant other locations.

Once you are done with the upload in each location, all you need to do is go back to the Nexudus template editor and click Copy files from Dropbox.

You can disconnect Dropbox from your Nexudus account at any point in just a few clicks.

  1. Log in to dashboard.nexudus.com if you aren't already.
