Dropbox Connector

The Dropbox connector synchronizes supported text files from Dropbox into your knowledge base.

Authentication

OAuth — requires scopes:

• files.metadata.read
• files.content.read

Configuration

Supported File Types

.txt, .md, .markdown, .html, .htm, .csv, .json, .xml, .yaml, .yml, .log, .rst, .tsv

Size Limit

Maximum 10 MB per file. Larger files are skipped.

How It Works

1. Folder Listing — Lists files recursively using list_folder with recursive: true
2. Filtering — Only supported text files under 10 MB are included
3. Content Deferred — listDocuments returns stubs; content fetched on demand via getDocument
4. HTML Handling — .html and .htm files are converted to plain text

Document Format

Content is the raw file text. HTML files are stripped to plain text.

Metadata Tags

Content Hash

dropbox:{file_id}:{content_hash|server_modified} — detects changes without downloading content.
