U-M Zoom, Dropbox
Issue
How do I automatically save my U-M Zoom cloud recordings to my U-M Dropbox so they are retained past the recording retention period in Zoom?
Resolution
You can use the Zoom for Dropbox integration to automatically save your U-M Zoom cloud recordings to a folder in U-M Dropbox.
- The integration copies all NEW cloud recordings that are created AFTER you set it up automatically.
- This integration creates a new folder named "Zoom" in your Dropbox account.
- You cannot select which recordings to copy. All recordings are copied automatically.
- This integration only copies recordings created AFTER you set it up. It does NOT "go back in time" to copy recordings created before you authorized the integration. If you wish to copy older recordings, use the Zoom Recordings Manager.
This method is different than using the
Zoom Recordings Manager. The two tools are independent of each other, and one cannot check whether the other has already copied/saved a recording. Therefore, if you use both, you could end up with a recording in your Dropbox account twice: once in the "Zoom" folder and once in the "Apps" > "My U-M Zoom Recordings" folder.
We recommend using the Zoom Recordings Manager for copying existing cloud recordings over to Dropbox, as the integration only copies new recordings.
Additional Information
- Because local recordings are simply files on your local device and not available in the cloud/web, it is not possible to automatically copy local recordings into your U-M Dropbox account or any other location.
- Once the recordings are in U-M Dropbox, you may treat them like any other Dropbox file, including sharing them, moving them, etc.
