Dropbox + Gmail + Zip Archive API

Zip new files uploaded to Dropbox with Zip Archive API and send via emails in Gmail

Looking for an easier way to send files larger than 25MB via email? This Zap can help by automatically compressing each new file uploaded to your Dropbox account and sending them as an attachment in a custom email to a specified recipient via Gmail. You can also compress multiple files into a single ZIP file and secure it by applying a password, for seamless file management.
