File Uploads
All uploaded files should be considered sensitive data. This includes photos, contracts, W-9's, and any other file type being uploaded to Formstack. All forms using the File Upload field should use the Dropbox Integration outlined in this section. Submit an IT Help Desk ticket for any related questions.

It allows you to manage the location within our secure Dropbox environment instead of the default Formstack location.
