Connect your **Dropbox** so your site can work with its contents: create folders, list and search
files, generate share links, save a file into Dropbox from a URL, and move, copy, or delete files.
Your credentials stay encrypted on the server, so nothing reaches your site's code.

## Setup

You need a Dropbox app of your own (create one at **dropbox.com/developers/apps**). Then, in
**Settings → Connectors → Dropbox**:

| Field | What to enter |
| --- | --- |
| **App key** *(secret)* | Your app's **Settings** page → **App key**. |
| **App secret** *(secret)* | The same page → **App secret** (click **Show**). |
| **Refresh token** *(secret)* | A long-lived token for offline access. You get it once by authorizing your app with offline access and exchanging the code Dropbox gives you; the field's hint walks through the exact steps. |

## Example prompts

Describe it in chat — no special syntax needed:

- *"create a folder in my Dropbox for each new client who submits the onboarding form"*
- *"show a list of the files in my Dropbox Downloads folder with share links"*
- *"save the file a visitor links in the form into my Dropbox"*
- *"add a search box that finds files in my Dropbox"*

Genesis maps each request to the right Dropbox call for you.

## Use cases

- A **client onboarding** flow that sets up a folder per client.
- A **downloads page** with public share links to your files.
- **Collecting files** from a URL straight into your Dropbox.

## Things worth knowing

- Everything the site does runs as **your** Dropbox account — anything the site lists or shares
  comes from your files, so ask for exactly the folders you want exposed.
- Share links Genesis creates are **public**: anyone with the link can open the file.
- Republish your site after configuring so the live site picks up the connector.
