This automation scenario allows you to connect Dropbox, Cloudinary, and HTTP.
It can be build using Integromat, a no-code workflow automation tool. Integromat allows you to create automated scripts 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.
When this trigger fires in Dropbox
Triggers when a file is added in a folder being watched. This module retrieves number of files/folders till 4000.

Create Make.com account.
Create Make.com account if you don't have one.
Connect Dropbox to Make.com.
Give Make.com access to your Dropbox account, using Dropbox credentials.
Connect Cloudinary to Make.com.
Give Make.com access to your Cloudinary account, using Cloudinary credentials.
Connect HTTP to Make.com.
Give Make.com access to your HTTP account, using HTTP credentials.
Part II
Next, we need to create a workflow automation scenario using graphical no-code web interface of Make.com.
Set up a Trigger action for Dropbox
Choose the following trigger: Watch Files (Triggers when a file is added in a folder being watched. This module retrieves number of files/folders till 4000.).
Then set up an Action for Dropbox

Then set up another Action for Dropbox
Choose this action: Upload a File (Uploads a file to a selected folder.).
Part III
Finally, we need to test this automation and publish it.
Customize data flow
Configure the data that is exchanged between Dropbox, Cloudinary and HTTP.
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 Transform your media from Dropbox using Cloudinary!
