Overview
Each Dropbox connector connects to a specified Dropbox storage account. Within the remote storage, you set a single folder as the upload target, and a list of folders as the download target. Files that reach the Dropbox connector in the flow are uploaded to the upload target folder, and files found in the download target folder are downloaded and entered into the flow. The connector supports upload and download filters to send and receive only specific file names and/or file extensions. Account authentication uses OAuth, so you must enter account credentials in an external site portal the first time the connector connects. The external portal generates an OAuth token that the connector uses to connect, then the connector handles token refresh automatically.Connector Configuration
