How Do I Back Up Feedspace Testimonials to Dropbox with n8n?

Connect Feedspace to Dropbox via n8n to automatically save each new testimonial file to a Dropbox folder. This provides an off-platform backup and makes testimonials easy to share with your team.

Step 4: (Optional) Download the File First

To upload the actual video file to Dropbox, add an HTTP Request node to download it first:

1. Click + and add an HTTP Request node.
2. Set Method to GET, map the URL to {{ $json.file_url }}, and set Response Format to File.

Step 5: Add a Dropbox Node
