SendToDropbox service

The Fastmail webmail system lets you save any attachment on a received message to your Dropbox account. This is a manual action by the user. The action by the user is at the client side, but the actual action is performed at the Fastmail and Dropbox server side directly.

If you instead want to save all incoming message attachments automatically to Dropbox, I would use the https://sendtodropbox.com service. The basic version is free. After you sign up at that site, you will receive a unique email address for saving attachments. You can then send a copy of some or all incoming messages to that unique email address and all attachments will be automatically saved to the Apps>Attachments folder at your Dropbox account.

If you are using a Fastmail email account, you have several choices on automatically forwarding messages to the SendToDropbox service address:
  1. If you use an alias email address (not your main address) for incoming messages, add another Deliver to: address for the unique SendToDropbox service address in the Settings>Aliases screen. This will save the attachments on all incoming messages sent to that one alias. Of course, you can do this separately for several aliases.
  2. Use a rule (which invokes sieve code) to send a copy of all incoming messages to the unique SendToDropbox service address. This will save the attachments on all incoming messages sent to any alias or your main address.
  3. Use a rule to send a copy of only certain incoming messages to the unique SendToDropbox service address.
