Dropbox connector details
The Dropbox connector captures data from a specified Dropbox folder into Estuary collections, enabling automated ingestion of structured and semi-structured files for analysis and downstream use.
- Folder-based ingestion: Continuously reads and captures files from a designated Dropbox folder into Flow, keeping data pipelines updated as new files are added.
- Multi-format support: Automatically detects and parses multiple file types, including Avro, CSV, JSON, Protobuf, and W3C Extended Log formats.
- Automatic compression handling: Supports ZIP, GZIP, and ZSTD compression with optional manual override for custom configurations.
- Custom parsing control: Advanced users can explicitly define parsing rules such as delimiter type, headers, compression, and encoding for CSV or other formats.
- Efficient incremental sync: The optional Ascending Keys mode improves performance by reading only new files added since the last sync, based on lexicographic key order.
- Secure authentication: Uses OAuth2 for account access, automatically managed within the Flow web app.
💡 Tip: For the fastest incremental syncs, enable Ascending Keys only if your Dropbox data is organized with timestamped or sequentially ordered filenames.

Google Sheets connector details
The Google Sheets materialization connector continuously syncs data from Estuary Flow collections into Google Sheets, making real-time data accessible for collaboration, analysis, and reporting in a familiar spreadsheet interface.
- Real-time sync: Streams updates from Flow collections directly into Google Sheets in near real time
- Simple setup: Authenticate quickly using OAuth in the Flow web app, or use a Service Account JSON key for manual configuration
- Per-sheet mapping: Materialize multiple Flow collections into separate sheets within the same spreadsheet
- Automatic state tracking: Each sheet includes an internal tracking column to ensure data consistency
- Cell limit awareness: Supports up to 1 million cells per sheet; larger datasets should be summarized or aggregated first
💡 Tip: Use Google Sheets materialization for lightweight reporting, team dashboards, or quick data validation workflows. For larger-scale analytics, consider exporting to BigQuery or S3.
