This automation scenario allows you to connect Fitbit and Dropbox
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt 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.

Fitbit and Dropbox can also be integrated using automation tools other than ifttt:
When this trigger fires in Fitbit
This Trigger fires every time your Fitbit tracker syncs for the first time today and your previous day's stats are available.
Then this action happens in Dropbox
This Action will append to a text file as determined by the file name and folder path you specify. Once a file’s size reaches 2MB a new file will be created.
This guide contains information on how to set up an automatic workflow that allows to Add the Fitbit daily activity summary to a CSV file in my Dropbox..
Part I
First, we need to connect Fitbit and Dropbox to IFTTT.
Create IFTTT account.
Create IFTTT account if you don't have one.
Connect Fitbit to IFTTT.
Give IFTTT access to your Fitbit account, using Fitbit credentials.
Connect Dropbox to IFTTT.
Give IFTTT access to your Dropbox account, using Dropbox credentials.
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 Fitbit
Choose the following trigger: Daily activity summary (This Trigger fires every time your Fitbit tracker syncs for the first time today and your previous day's stats are available.).
Then set up an Action for Dropbox
Choose this action: Append to a text file (This Action will append to a text file as determined by the file name and folder path you specify. Once a file’s size reaches 2MB a new file will be created.).
Part III
Finally, we need to test this automation and publish it.
Customize data flow
Configure the data that is exchanged between Fitbit and Dropbox.
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 Add the Fitbit daily activity summary to a CSV file in my Dropbox.!
Triggers when a new file is added to a folder. Make sure the number of files/folders in the watched folder does not exceed 4000.
This Trigger fires every time any file is saved in the folder you specify. NOTE: will process up to 15 files per polling period.
New or modified file or folder
Triggers when a new folder is added. Make sure the number of files/folders in the watched folder does not exceed 4000.
Triggers when a file is added in a folder being watched. This module retrieves number of files/folders till 4000.
Triggers when a new file is added to a specific folder.
This Action will log a new weight measurement to Fitbit.
Logs an activity.
Adds a favorite activity.
Gets an activity summary by date.
Creates a log entry for water.
Creates a log entry for a sleep event.
Fitbit produces activity trackers, smart watches, wearable devices that measure number of steps walked, heart rate, quality of sleep, steps climbed, and other fitness & health metrics. The Fitbit mobile app is for people who use Fitbit devices to keep track of their activity goals, food plans, and other fitness related things.
IFTTT helps to create applications connections with a simple statement: if this then that. For example: "Tweet your Instagrams as native photos on Twitter". You define a task by a trigger and an action.
