Dropbox
Look up the Dropbox connector: its actions and events in alphabetical order, and the sign-in methods of a Dropbox connection.
The Dropbox connector lets a workflow manage files, folders, shared links, and team members in Dropbox. In the Add node panel, it's in the Connector category, under Dropbox. How connector nodes work describes how a connector node is set up.
This page lists what the connector can do in Maestro Automate. Select an action or event to see how to configure it.

Connection
A Dropbox node signs in through a connection. Create a connection describes how to create one from the node. On the Connect to page, choose one of these sign-in methods:
| Sign-in method | What you need |
|---|---|
| OAuth 2.0 Authorization code | The email and password associated with your Dropbox account. |
| Bring your own OAuth 2.0 app | Client ID, Client secret, Scope. |
Dropbox authentication in the Integration Service guide describes the full connection setup, including prerequisites and advanced settings.
