How it works

The Dropbox connector ingests all documents from your Dropbox account into Hymalaia.

  • It recursively pulls all files from the root directory.
  • Pulling from specific directories is not supported.
  • The connector only pulls once upon initialization.
  • To re-ingest documents, a new access token must be generated and the connector must be re-initialized.
