About this Applet
Track your progress automatically by adding a Beeminder datapoint whenever a new file appears in your Dropbox folder. This Applet runs each time a file is added to the folder you select, sending a datapoint with the file name to your chosen Beeminder goal. Ideal for goal tracking and automation enthusiasts who use Dropbox and Beeminder together.
