Ask HN: Is there a Google Form like solution for Dropbox?
I have a few instances where I would like to store data, like a gas meter reading or my weight, on my phone and have the data saved on dropbox (csv?). I found one very pricey solution.
Does anyone know of a simple solution?
- jrowley 3y agoNot sure about how polished of a solution you’re looking for, or if you’re on iOS, but I bet you could cook up an iOS shortcut to create a new file and drop it into Dropbox or iCloud. Another script could aggregate those into a single CSV?

- p0d 3y agoHad a try, there didn't seem to be an option to collect the data in csv/spreadsheet. If there was I missed it.
- rfarley04 3y agoFillout.com has a native Dropbox integration
- p0d 3y agoThanks, looks interesting, having a look now.
- Leftium 3y agoWhy don't you just use Google forms + sheets? Otherwise CSV is just a text file, so you just need something that can edit Dropbox text files.
- p0d 3y agoI ended up running with Google Forms and using rclone to sync the data to Dropbox. I use rclone anyway for backups, so should have thought of this in the first place. I continue to use Google products but I am determined not to rely on any of their services in case they "go away". I know with this solution I will always have my data.
