This automation scenario allows you to connect GitHub 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.

GitHub and Dropbox can also be integrated using automation tools other than ifttt:
When this trigger fires in GitHub
This Trigger fires every time a new issue is assigned to you.
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 new Github issues to todo.txt.
Part I
First, we need to connect GitHub and Dropbox to IFTTT.
Create IFTTT account.
Create IFTTT account if you don't have one.
Connect GitHub to IFTTT.
Give IFTTT access to your GitHub account, using GitHub 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 GitHub
Choose the following trigger: New issue assigned to you (This Trigger fires every time a new issue is assigned to you.).
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 GitHub 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 new Github issues to todo.txt!
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.
Create a new issue.
This Action will create a new issue for the repository you specify.
Update an existing issue.
Search issues and pull requests
Create issue comment
Get issue assignees
Cloud hosting for software development collaboration, review, and code management
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.
