How the Dropbox connector works

A connected service becomes one permissioned step in the work you hand off.

  1. 1

    Connect Dropbox

    Choose OAuth (Recommended) or Access Token.

  2. 2

    Choose the work

    Use only the supported actions your workflow needs.

  3. 3

    Run it your way

    Start it once, schedule it, or attach an event trigger.

Connect Dropbox securely

Use the connection method that fits your account and grant only the access the workflow needs.

  • OAuth (Recommended)
  • Access Token

Connector access is controlled per service and per action, so a workflow does not need broader access than the work you ask it to do.
