How do integrate project attachments and messages and between Basecamp and Dropbox?
Is there an application which can integrate Dropbox with Basecamp in such way so that I have all Basecamp attachments and messages inside my Dropbox? I.e., if just edit a file in Dropbox it will be uploaded into Basecamp automatically?
I haven't used their service, but CloudHQ seems to offer what you need.
From their website about the Basecamp / Dropbox integration:
CloudHQ simplifies management of Google Docs, Basecamp, and Dropbox files Manage all your Dropbox and Basecamp files directly from a Google Docs interface CloudHQ will continuously synchronize Dropbox, Basecamp, and Google Docs CloudHQ can also backup Basecamp projects and Google Docs to Dropbox
One service called Zapier (disclaimer, I'm a cofounder) offers exactly this (plus a lot more), I invite you to check it out. We have the ability to send Basecamp Attachment to Dropbox and also Sync New Dropbox File to Basecamp.
It looks a lot like this:
If you have any questions about how we do this, I am more than happy to answer them: just email me at [email protected].
I recommend use of cloudHQ service. Real time and continuos synchronization by cloudHQ will keep track of files for changes and copy files with a very short delay after the change has occurred.
