Dropbox

  # Description

Integrate your bot with Dropbox to list, manage, and transfer files seamlessly between Dropbox and the Botpress files API.

# Configuration

Currently, the Dropbox integration only supports OAuth authentication using your own Dropbox app.

## Configuring the integration with a custom app

1. Sign in to your Dropbox account and access the [Dropbox App Console](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps).
2. Create a new app by clicking the "Create app" button.
   - Choose the "Scoped access" option.
   - Give access to either a single folder or your entire Dropbox account.
   - Name your app and click "Create app".
3. From your app's settings page, copy the **App Key** and **App Secret**. You will need these to configure the integration on Botpress.
4. In your app's Permissions page, add the following scopes:
   - `account_info.read`
   - `files.metadata.write`
   - `files.content.read`
   - `files.content.write`
   - `sharing.read`
5. After adding the scopes, click the "Submit" button to apply the changes.
6. In your web browser, navigate to `https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&token_access_type=offline&client_id=<App Key>`. **Make sure to replace `<App Key>` with the App Key you copied from step 3**.
   - For example, if your **App Key** is `abcde`, the URL should end in `client_id=abcde`.
7. Authorize your Dropbox app to access your Dropbox account. You will then be presented with an **Access Code**. Copy this code.
8. On Botpress, enter your **App key**, **App secret**, and **Access Code** in the integration configuration page.
9. Save the configuration to enable the integration.

### Extra configuration for the File Synchronizer plugin

If you are using the File Synchronizer plugin, you need to set up a webhook in
your Dropbox app to receive real-time file change notifications.

1. On Botpress, copy the **Webhook URL** from the integration configuration page. This URL usually starts with `https://webhook.botpress.cloud/`.
2. From the Dropbox App Console, navigate to your app's settings page.
3. In the **Webhook** section, paste the **Webhook URL** you copied from Botpress and click `Add`.
4. Your bot should now be able to receive real-time file change notifications from Dropbox.

# Using the integration

The integration provides actions to manage your Dropbox files effectively:

- List files and folders in your Dropbox account
- Download files from Dropbox to your bot's storage
- Upload files from your bot to Dropbox
- Create, delete, and organize folders
- Move or copy files between locations

Use these actions in your workflows to seamlessly handle file operations between your bot and Dropbox.
