Dropbox - Kentico Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between Dropbox and Kentico

1. Centralized Asset Publishing from Dropbox to Kentico

Data flow: Dropbox to Kentico

Marketing and creative teams store approved images, videos, PDFs, and campaign files in Dropbox, then publish selected assets into Kentico for website pages, landing pages, and campaign microsites. This reduces manual downloading and re-uploading, ensures only approved versions are used, and speeds up content production.

• Business value: Faster campaign launches and fewer asset version errors
• Operational benefit: One source of truth for approved media
• Typical users: Marketing, creative, web content teams

2. Automated Content Asset Sync for Product and Campaign Pages

Data flow: Bi-directional

When product brochures, event materials, or promotional assets are updated in Kentico, the corresponding files can be stored or archived in Dropbox for internal review, legal approval, and long-term retention. Likewise, finalized files in Dropbox can be synced back into Kentico to keep public-facing content current.

• Business value: Consistent content across internal and external channels
• Operational benefit: Reduced duplicate file handling
• Typical users: Content operations, compliance, product marketing

3. Secure Approval Workflow for Website Assets

Data flow: Kentico to Dropbox

Draft website assets or campaign documents created in Kentico can be exported to Dropbox for stakeholder review and approval. Teams can use Dropbox sharing and permission controls to collect feedback from legal, brand, regional marketing, or external agencies before publishing the final version back in Kentico.

• Business value: Faster approval cycles with controlled access
• Operational benefit: Easier collaboration with internal and external reviewers
• Typical users: Marketing operations, legal, agency partners

4. Shared Media Library for Distributed Teams

Data flow: Dropbox to Kentico

• Typical users: Web editors, designers, brand managers

5. Campaign Launch Package Distribution

• Business value: Better coordination across launch teams
• Operational benefit: Centralized access to campaign collateral
• Typical users: Campaign managers, regional marketers, sales enablement teams

7. Regional Content Distribution and Localization Support
