Author Notes

This bot was built as a way for people to submit entries in a contest to be judged in a private space.
The same could go for submitting homework assignments to a teacher, while keeping work private between students.

Dropbox integration was only added as a workaround for the 100mb limitation in Teams API, however using Dropbox as a mirror repository for Teams files could be a great use case.
