Dropbox
Dropbox keeps files and folders, shared links, team members, team activity events and file revisions. With that activity log in a Lake beside HR and identity records, IT can review how content leaves the company, which links stay public and which members still hold access after they change roles or leave.

What you can sync.
- Files
- Folders
- Shared links
- Team members
- Team events
- File revisions
Track Dropbox files next to the business results they serve, in DataPrism BI and AI Minds.
Need more? Name any other Dropbox data the API returns, and the AI adds it to the connector.
03Credentials
Credentials you will need.
- OAuth 2.0 (client ID, client secret, refresh token)
Dropbox uses OAuth 2.0 (client ID, client secret, refresh token). You add the credentials once, when the AI asks for them, and it tells you where to create them in Dropbox if you need help.
04Questions
Questions you can answer.
Once Dropbox data is in your Lake, ask an AI Mind in plain words or build the answer in DataPrism BI.
- Which shared links are public and were created by members who have since left?
- Which team members downloaded or shared an unusual number of files last week?
- How much storage does each team use, and how fast is it growing?
- Which folders get the most file revisions, a sign of active collaboration?
05How it works
How it works in DataMind.
-
Pick Dropbox.
Open Lake, pick Dropbox in the source picker and name the connection. Connect Any API opens with a ready prompt that points the AI at the Dropbox API docs.
-
Answer a few questions.
The AI reads the Dropbox documentation, then asks which credentials you will use, which data to sync (for example files and folders), whether you want a one-time load or a recurring sync, and which accounts or filters apply.
-
Your data lands in Lake.
It builds the connector, tests it and shows you sample rows. Then Dropbox data loads into your Lake on your schedule, ready for the Warehouse, DataPrism BI and AI Minds.
06Pairs
Works well with Dropbox.
Sources teams join with Dropbox in the Warehouse, each one connected the same way.
