If you’re like most professionals, you probably use more than one app on a regular basis. From email and word processing to calendars and contact management, there are countless software solutions available to help streamline your working processes and keep information stored in a single location. But what if you could combine the best features of several programs into one streamlined solution? Well, you can — by combining Slack with Dropbox. These two popular programs complement each other beautifully, allowing users to store information in one place while also monitoring changes across devices. In this complete guide, we’ll show you how to combine Slack and Dropbox for streamlined workflows that will save you time and stress as well as keep your files organized in one centralized location.


Why Should You Use Slack and Dropbox Together?

While the two programs are excellent on their own, there are many reasons why you should consider combining Slack and Dropbox. Most importantly, the two programs integrate well with one another, allowing you to share and store information seamlessly between your devices. This can be hugely beneficial in team-based workflows, as it allows you to collaborate more effectively by storing information in one centralized location. Moreover, Slack and Dropbox are both user-friendly programs, meaning that combining them will likely take very little effort on your part. Another reason to consider the two programs is that they’re both free, and are supported by strong customer service teams. Finally, both programs are highly secure, which is great for teams that need to store sensitive information.


How to Combine Slack and Dropbox Using HapPhi

The first thing you’ll need to do is install and set up both Slack and Dropbox. You can start by installing the Dropbox desktop application and selecting the “alternative” installation. You’ll then be prompted to log in to your Dropbox account and/or create a new account. Once installed, create a folder within Dropbox to store your files. You can name this folder whatever you like, but it should contain information about the project or team it represents. Then, install the Slack desktop app and create an account if you don’t already have one. You can choose to use a free account or a paid Pro account depending on your needs. Once installed, create a new Slack channel and invite the team members you’d like to collaborate with. Make sure you invite relevant team members that will benefit from access to the channel, as you can’t remove or modify channels once they’re created.


What is HapPhi?

HapPhi is a collaboration platform that allows you to access and manage files from almost any device. It has a number of great features, including real-time notifications, automated permission management, and built-in AI. HapPhi is also a great solution for combining Slack and Dropbox. This is because it allows you to view files stored in Dropbox through Slack, and to add files to Dropbox from within Slack. With HapPhi, you can also monitor changes made to files stored in Dropbox. This means that you’ll receive notifications when a team member makes a change to a file, and you’ll be able to revert these changes if necessary. HapPhi is a smart, intuitive Slack integration that allows you to access and manage your files in Dropbox with ease.


Step 1: Install and Set up Dropbox

First things first: you’ll need to install and set up Dropbox if you don’t already have an account. If you already have a Dropbox account and are new to HapPhi, skip ahead to Step 2. Once logged into your account, you’ll be taken to the Dropbox homepage. From here, you can click the “create new folder” button to create a new folder for your projects. You can also click the “add to an existing folder” button if you already have a folder set up. Once your folder is created, you can leave the Dropbox app or desktop program open to start uploading files. With the Dropbox program open, you can drag and drop files from your computer onto the program to upload those files.


Step 2: Install and Set up Slack

Now that Dropbox is installed, you can install and set up Slack if you don’t already have an account. Once logged into your account, you can click the “add a team” button. Alternatively, you can also click the “create a new team” button. Once your team has been created, you can click the “edit” button to give your team a name and enter a short description. You can then invite team members by clicking the “invite members” button. Once your team is created, you can begin inviting team members, adding channels, and setting up your preferences. You can also add an icon to your Slack team by clicking the “customize” button.


Step 3: Monitor Changes with HapPhi

Now that you’ve installed and set up both Slack and Dropbox, you can start monitoring changes to files in Dropbox with HapPhi. First, log in to your HapPhi account and click the “create integration” button. Select “Slack” as your integration type, and click “next” to move to the next screen. Next, select the Slack channel you wish to integrate with Dropbox, and choose whether you’d like to view changes made to files or add files to a channel. You can then select the “get sample events” button to view sample notifications. Finally, click the “finish” button to create your integration.
