Common questions
Can Knit build “Sync sharing permissions across cloud storage hubs” between Dropbox and Amazon S3?
Yes — describe it in the box above and Knit's Integrations Agent researches Dropbox and Amazon S3's public API docs (or your own uploaded docs) and builds a working workflow, whether or not either app already has a pre-built connector.
How long does it take to build?
Minutes to a first working version, not weeks — you test it against real data before it goes anywhere near production.
Why sync two file storage applications together?
Connecting Dropbox and Amazon S3 ensures automated cross-platform backups and keeps folder organizational structures synced across all your cloud storage tools.
Will new files and folder updates replicate across both systems?
Yes, whenever a folder is updated or a new file is uploaded in Dropbox, matching files and folders can automatically be created or uploaded in Amazon S3.
