Dropbox connector requirements
You must authorize the Incorta Cloud App for Business to connect to your Dropbox account. If you are not already signed in to your Dropbox account, simply provide the required email address and password.
Dropbox connector properties
Here are the properties for the Dropbox connector:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Data Source Name | Enter the name of the data source |
| Authorize | Select this button to authenticate your Dropbox account and grant Incorta access to your Dropbox storage. ● Sign in to your Dropbox account. ● Select the Allow button. The Authorize button will change to Authorized with the name of the Dropbox account to the right. |
| Browse | Select this button to open the Select Directory from dialog, and then select one of the directories shown that contains the folders or files you want to connect to. If you do not choose a specific folder, you will have access to all folders and files found in your Dropbox storage, including folders (not files) shared with you and added to your Dropbox. |
If you select the lowest folder in the tree, you will see No Data in the Select Directory from dialog. You will have access to the files in this folder upon schema creation. However, you will not be able to select the parent folder.
Additional Considerations
Dropbox supports storing multiple versions of the same file. The Dropbox connector can access only the latest version of a file.
You cannot access files that someone directly shares with you if this is not through a shared folder.
