The Dropbox data connector allows you to connect any Dropbox file to Cloudglue, enabling you to use your Dropbox files directly with our endpoints without manually uploading files.

​
How It Works

This connector creates a secure bridge between your Dropbox files and Cloudglue:
  • Direct Dropbox access - We only access your files when you explicitly use them
  • No manual uploads - Skip the process of manually uploading files to Cloudglue

​
Security

Security is paramount, we use a Dropbox app to access your files. This approach:
  • Maintains your control - You own and manage the app
  • Follows Dropbox security patterns - Uses standard Dropbox app access
  • Provides granular permissions - Only grants the minimum access needed
  • Easy to revoke - Simply delete the app or modify permissions

​
Setup

Setting up only takes a couple of clicks.
  1. Go to our app
  2. Click on “Connect Dropbox” Dropbox Connector Architecture
  3. Follow the instructions to authorize the app
  4. You’re done! You can now use your Dropbox files directly with Cloudglue endpoints.

How to use your Dropbox files with Cloudglue

To use Dropbox files, you can use the dropbox:// prefix in your Cloudglue API requests. Example:

  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "url": "dropbox://<path>/<to>/<file>",
  "enable_summary": true,
  "enable_speech": true,
  "enable_visual_scene_description": true,
