# Dropbox Connector (Beta)

> Access knowledge from Dropbox

## How it works

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

The connector recursively pulls all files from the root directory of your Dropbox account. It is currently not possible to pull files only from specific directories.

The connector will only pull once upon initialization. If you would like to pull more documents, you must generate a new access token (step 6 below), put that token into the connector, and re-initialize the connector.

## Setting up

### Authorization

1. Head over to [https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps) and click the `Create app` button on the top right
2. Select `Scoped access` and `Full Dropbox` as the type of access. Give your app a name like 'UtopikAI Connector' and click `Create app`

Navigate to the `Settings` tab and scroll down to the `OAuth 2` section. Click `Generate` to generate an access token

<Warning>
  You must complete steps 3-5 before generating an access token. Changing
  permissions will not affect permissions on existing access tokens, and
  UtopikAI will be unable to index your Dropbox
