Dropbox
Connect to your users' Dropbox accounts.
You'll need the following information to set up your Dropbox App with Paragon Connect:
- Client ID
- Client Secret
- Scopes Requested
Paragon provides a redirect URL to send information to your Dropbox app. To add the redirect URL to your Dropbox app:
1. Copy the link under "Redirect URL" in your integration settings in Paragon. The Redirect URL is:
https://passport.useparagon.com/oauth
3. Select your app from the list of apps.
5. Under Redirect URIs, paste-in the redirect URL from Paragon. The redirect URL can be found in Step 1.
6. Press the
Save
button to confirm your changes.Under Integrations > Connected Integrations > {YOUR_APP} > Settings, fill out your credentials from your developer app in their respective sections:
- Client ID: Found under Settings > App key on your Dropbox App page.
- Client Secret: Found under Settings > App secret on your Dropbox App page.
- Permissions: Select the scopes you've requested for your application.
Leaving the Client ID and Client Secret blank will use Paragon development keys.

Once your users have connected their Dropbox account, you can use the Paragon SDK to access the Dropbox API on behalf of connected users.
Any Dropbox API endpoints can be accessed with the Paragon SDK as shown in this example.
// You can find your project ID in the Overview tab of any Integration
// Authenticate the user
paragon.authenticate(<ProjectId>, <UserToken>);
// Query files in Dropbox's root directory
paragon.request("dropbox", "/2/files/list_folder", {
method: "POST",
body: {
{
"include_deleted": false,
"include_has_explicit_shared_members": false,
"include_media_info": false,
"include_mounted_folders": true,
"include_non_downloadable_files": true,
"path": "",
"recursive": false
}
});
// Move a file or folder to a different location.
paragon.request("dropbox", "/2/files/move_v2", {
method: "POST",
body: {
"allow_ownership_transfer": false,
"allow_shared_folder": false,
"autorename": false,
"from_path": "/Homework/math",
"to_path": "/Homework/algebra"
}
});
Once your Dropbox account is connected, you can add steps to perform the following actions:
- Save File
- Get File by Name
- List Files
- Create Folder
- Move Folder
- Get Folder by ID
- Search Folders
- Delete Folder
When creating or updating records in Dropbox, you can reference data from previous steps by typing
