Dropbox Overview#

The Dropbox API on Pipedream enables you to automate file and folder operations, streamlining workflows that involve storing, syncing, and sharing content. With this API, you can programmatically manage files, set up event-driven triggers based on changes within Dropbox, and leverage Pipedream's capabilities to connect with hundreds of other apps for extended automation scenarios. It's ideal for building custom file management solutions, archiving systems, or collaborative content workflows without writing extensive code.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Dropbox	`dropbox`	`app`	This component uses the Dropbox app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Path	`path`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Recursive	`recursive`	`boolean`	Also watch sub-directories and their contents.
	`dropboxApphook`	`$.interface.apphook`

Trigger Authentication#

Dropbox uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Dropbox account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Dropbox and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Dropbox API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

IP2Location Overview#

The IP2Location API enables you to uncover valuable information about an IP address. With it, you can pinpoint a user's geographic location, such as country, region, city, and even latitude and longitude coordinates. This data is essential for various tasks like localizing content, analyzing traffic, or enhancing security by detecting potentially malicious activity. Using Pipedream, you can automate actions based on IP location data, integrating it with hundreds of other services without writing any code.
