Inbound: capture work where it happens
Every workflow proposes its action and waits for your sign-off before touching Dropbox. You stay in control without slowing down your file organization.
Going the other way? Dropbox to Gmail
The Gmail to Dropbox integration on Rills watches your inbox and sent mail, then proposes Dropbox actions like creating folders or generating shared links based on what you send and receive. It is built for solopreneurs and small teams who juggle client work across email and cloud storage and want those two tools to stay in sync without manual effort.
Rills handles the logic and surfaces a proposed action to your phone before anything happens in Dropbox. You swipe to approve or skip, and the system learns from those decisions over time. Approvals and the underlying logic are always free. You only pay when an action actually runs in Dropbox.
