Integrations
Dropbox
Connect Dropbox to sync folders and files into Alloovium using OAuth 2.0.
Overview
The Dropbox integration uses OAuth 2.0 to connect Alloovium to your Dropbox account. Once connected, you select folders to sync, and Alloovium monitors them for new and updated files. Project documents, reports, and drawings in Dropbox are indexed and become queryable from Alloovium.
Read-only access
Alloovium requests read-only access to Dropbox. We never create, modify, or delete files or folders in your Dropbox account. Read our data handling commitments →What data we access
Setup
Connecting Dropbox takes under a minute. Click Connect, sign in with Dropbox, and select the folders to sync.
Click Connect
Go to Integrations → Dropbox in Alloovium and click Connect. You will be redirected to Dropbox to authorise access.
Sign in with Dropbox
Sign in with your Dropbox account. Review the permissions requested (read access to your files) and click Allow.
Select folders to sync
Choose which Dropbox folders Alloovium should monitor. Subfolders are included automatically unless excluded.
Initial sync
Alloovium will ingest all files in your selected folders. Progress is visible in the integrations panel.
Permissions
We request: files.metadata.read (list files and folders) and files.content.read (download file content). We do not modify, delete, or write files to your Dropbox account.
Troubleshooting
Team folders not visible
Dropbox Business team folders only appear once they are added to your member space. Open the folder in Dropbox first, then reconnect or refresh the folder picker in Alloovium.
Folders not showing
Only folders your Dropbox account has access to will appear. Shared folders owned by others may require you to accept the share invitation in Dropbox first.
