On Labstep you can upload files from your device, Google Drive, One Drive, Dropbox or Box. Additionally you can use the Labstep Folder Watcher.


Understanding the different Cloud storage:

  • Google Drive → a file storage and synchronization service created by Google. It allows users to store files in the cloud, share files, and edit documents, spreadsheets, and presentations with collaborators.

  • Microsoft OneDrive → a file hosting service that allows users to sync files and later access them from a web browser or mobile device.

  • Dropbox → a file hosting service that offers cloud storage, file synchronization, personal cloud, and client software.

  • Box → a file hosting service that offers cloud storage, file synchronization, personal cloud, and client software. Available on desktop and mobile devices.

Labstep team tip: This integration allows you to easily make links to Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox files in experiments/protocols entry, notes and comments. Simply select the app of your choice and login to your account to choose the desired files for your experiments!
