# Dropbox Connector (Beta)

> Access knowledge from Dropbox

## 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.

## Setting up

### Authorization

1. Visit [Dropbox Developer Console](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps)
2. Click **Create app**
3. Choose:
   * **Scoped access**
   * **Full Dropbox**
4. Name the app (e.g., `Hymalaia Connector`) and click **Create app**
5. Open the **Permissions** tab:
   * Enable:
     * `files.content.read`
     * `sharing.write`
   * Click **Submit**
6. Go to the **Settings** tab
7. Scroll to **OAuth 2** section and click **Generate** to create an **access token**

> ⚠️ Make sure steps 3-5 are complete before generating the token, or the access token will lack the required permissions.

8. Copy the access token
   * Refresh the page to regenerate if needed

### Indexing

1. In the **Hymalaia UI**, go to the **Admin Dashboard**
2. Select the **Dropbox Connector**
3. Enter the **access token**
4. Click **Connect** to begin indexing your Dropbox files
