Dropbox
Connect a Dropbox account and sync folders into project folders.
How it works
Dropbox connects through OAuth against a Dropbox app. Once authorized, you map Dropbox folders to project folders.
Before you start
- A Dropbox account (or Business team) with the files
- A Dropbox app created in the App Console
What you need to make the connection
| Field | Where to get it |
|---|---|
| App key | Dropbox App Console → your app → Settings → App key. |
| App secret | Same Settings page → App secret → Show. |
| Redirect URI | Add the URI shown in raia Command to the app's OAuth 2 redirect URIs. |
Credentials are stored encrypted in raia Command and are never shown again after saving. Rotate them at the provider if they are exposed.
Setup steps
- 01
Create a Dropbox app (Scoped access, Full Dropbox or App folder).
- 02
Add the files.metadata.read and files.content.read scopes.
- 03
In raia Command, open Settings → Connectors, find the connector, and click Connect.
- 04
Enter the app key and secret, then authorize with the Dropbox account.
- 05
Choose the destination project folder, run the first import, then set a sync schedule. Every run is recorded in Sync History.
Good to know
- Scope changes require re-authorizing the connection in Command.
