Send a Fax from Dropbox with PayPerFax
Your documents are already in Dropbox. When someone needs one by fax, you should not have to download it, find a fax service, and upload it again.
PayPerFax adds a “Fax via PayPerFax” option right inside Dropbox so you can right-click a file and send it to any fax number in the world. No app to install. No account to manage. No monthly fee.
Dropbox Integration
Right-click, fax, done
No downloads. No file juggling. Pick a file in Dropbox, enter a fax number, and it is on its way.
Send faxes without leaving Dropbox
Right-click any PDF, DOC, DOCX, JPG, or TIF file in your Dropbox and send it as a fax in seconds. Your workflow stays in Dropbox.
Your files stay private
PayPerFax connects through Dropbox’s secure OAuth authorization. You grant access once, and PayPerFax only ever sees the specific file you choose to fax. Nothing is stored, nothing is browsed.
You only pay for successful faxes
$2 for the first 3 pages, $0.75 per additional page. If the fax fails, you are not charged. That is standard for every PayPerFax service.
Send to any fax number worldwide
Domestic or international – over 130 countries. Enter the number, and PayPerFax handles the rest.
Why people fax from Dropbox
Fax is not going away. Courts, government agencies, healthcare providers, and banks still require faxed documents – and they do not care that you went paperless years ago. If your files already live in Dropbox, the fastest path from “they need a fax” to “it is sent” is an integration that skips the download-print-scan loop entirely.
That is what the PayPerFax Dropbox integration does. It puts a fax option in your Dropbox right-click menu so you can send a document from where it already lives. No app to install, no account to create, no subscription. You pay $2 when a fax goes through. If it fails, you pay nothing.

How it Works
Your Dropbox already holds the files. PayPerFax handles the faxing. The three steps between those two facts:
1. Right-click and share
Navigate to any folder on dropbox.com containing a PDF, DOC, DOCX, JPG, or TIF file. Right-click the file you want to fax, select “Share” from the context menu, then choose “Fax via PayPerFax”.
2. Authorize on first use
The first time you fax from Dropbox through PayPerFax, you authorize the connection through Dropbox’s secure OAuth flow. This takes a few seconds and only happens once. After that, your Dropbox and PayPerFax are linked.
3. Enter the fax number, preview, and send
You are redirected to PayPerFax where you enter the destination fax number and preview your document. The price is shown upfront – $2 for the first 3 pages. Pay, and your fax transmits immediately. You get email confirmation with a detailed transmission record.
