Goal:  Utilize a third-party file storage service due to the economics of storing photos on Quickbase, but still maintain the ability to display the photos in a notification email.

Method: Using pipelines, copy a new attachment to Dropbox then via Webhook - convert it to a shared file.

Problem: I'm completely stumped on how the Pipelines Webhook channel needs to be set up to talk to Dropbox.  I've set up an api 'app' in Dropbox, gotten the authorization key generated, and tested both the key and the path generated by previous steps in the Pipeline using Dropbox's nifty testing tool.  The issue I run into is in the actual configuration of the Pipelines webhook which has just enough documentation to make me feel like I'm 90% there, but not enough to make the last 10% feel like something I can figure out on my own.

Any assist on this, or just a flat-out redirect to another service or method of managing the attachment space for essentially no cost would be awesome.

One solution is to implement the add on for the Juiced storage on Amazon S3.  The Amazon cost is very trivial https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/  .  There is a nominal monthly cost for the Juiced add on. They also have a different add on which allows for multi file upload.  It can let you browse to your file source, grab a bunch by dragging or highlight them and then click to create multiple child records each with a file attachment or liked into Amazon S3.
