This automation scenario allows you to connect Dropbox and OneDrive
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated bots using a simple drag-and-drop interface for non-technical users. This is a ready-made scenario, but it can be customized by adding more apps, actions, filters or branches.

Dropbox and OneDrive can also be integrated using automation tools other than ifttt:
When this trigger fires in Dropbox
This Trigger fires every time any file is saved in the folder you specify. NOTE: will process up to 15 files per polling period.
Then this action happens in OneDrive
This Action will download a file at a given URL and add it to OneDrive at the path you specify. NOTE: 30 MB file size limit.
This guide contains information on how to set up an automatic workflow that allows to Sync new files added to Dropbox to OneDrive.
Part I
First, we need to connect Dropbox and OneDrive to IFTTT.
Create IFTTT account.
Create IFTTT account if you don't have one.
Connect Dropbox to IFTTT.
Give IFTTT access to your Dropbox account, using Dropbox credentials.
Connect OneDrive to IFTTT.

Part II
Next, we need to create a workflow automation scenario using graphical no-code web interface of IFTTT.
Set up a Trigger action for Dropbox
Choose the following trigger: New file in your folder (This Trigger fires every time any file is saved in the folder you specify. NOTE: will process up to 15 files per polling period.).
Then set up an Action for OneDrive
Choose this action: Add file from URL (This Action will download a file at a given URL and add it to OneDrive at the path you specify. NOTE: 30 MB file size limit.).
Part III
Finally, we need to test this automation and publish it.
Customize data flow
Configure the data that is exchanged between Dropbox and OneDrive.
Test the workflow and turn it on for production use
Test your scenario and publish to production. Now you have an automatic workflow, that will Sync new files added to Dropbox to OneDrive!
