Dropbox

With Dropbox modules in Make, you can manage the files and folders in your Dropbox account.

To use the Dropbox modules, you must have a Dropbox account. You can create an account at www.dropbox.com/register.

Refer to the Dropbox API documentation for a list of available endpoints.

Connect Dropbox to Make

To establish the connection in Make:

  1. Log in to your Make account, add a Dropbox module to your scenario, and click Create a connection.

  2. Optional: In the Connection name field, enter a name for the connection.

  3. Optional: Click Show advanced settings and enter your custom app client credentials. For more information, refer to Dropbox OAuth Guide.

Common problems

There are several situations when uploading or updating a file fails:

  • The uploaded file is too big and exceeds the maximum file size allowed for your Dropbox plan or you have used all of your Dropbox account's storage quota. You will either need to delete existing files from your Dropbox account or upgrade your plan.

  • The previously selected folder, to which the file is being uploaded to, no longer exists. The scenario gets stopped and you will need to select the target folder again.
