Storage
Dropbox
Browse, search, and share Dropbox files from Atlas.
What this connector does
- List folders a page at a time, search the account, and read the details of one file or folder.
- Create folders, and move, rename, copy, or delete files and folders.
- Create shared links, and get a temporary download link when you ask for one.
Before you begin
- You are an owner or administrator of your Atlas workspace.
- You can sign in to your Dropbox account and approve access for Atlas.
- Atlas looks after the Dropbox app on its side, so there is nothing for you to create or copy.
How to connect
Open Dropbox in Integrations
In Atlas, open Integrations and select Dropbox.
Press Connect
Atlas sends you to Dropbox to sign in. Sign in with the account you want to connect.

Troubleshooting
Connect says Dropbox is not available yet
Atlas has not enabled Dropbox for this deployment, so there is nothing for you to configure. Check again later.
The sign-in was cancelled
If you close the Dropbox screen or choose Cancel, Atlas does not connect. Press Connect again and approve the access.
Atlas asks you to reconnect
Dropbox can end a connection when access is revoked or a password changes. Press Reconnect on the connector page and approve the access again.
Event notifications

Events Atlas listens for

Disconnect and data deletion
- Click Disconnect on the Atlas Dropbox connector page to cancel the saved connection.
- Open https://www.dropbox.com/account/connected_apps and remove Atlas Connector.
