IBM Mainframe Forum

Hi All,

Would anyone have an idea how to connect mainframes with Dropbox? We have this requirement in our project. Need to send files from mainframes to dropbox and vice versa.

Why don't you contact Dropbox and ask THEM? You are MUCH more likely to get information by talking to a vendor than by asking on a forum. I doubt you'll get many, if any, responses on a forum because this does not sound like something very many companies have done or will do so it is not likely anyone has experience with this.

As Robert says, Dropbox would probably be your best bet for information. I use Dropbox at home for personal use, but can't speak to its security, which your mainframe folks would likely be concerned with. Dropbox can be used with any files defined in your Windows Explorer. so I don't see a problem there. I don't know of any way to connect a mainframe directly to Dropbox without using the "intermediate" step of Explorer.

Thanks Robert and Terry. I will try to contact. Just came here to see if anyone is already using Dropbox-Mainframes.
