Move your data from Dropbox with your free account

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 Estuary, 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 Estuary’s dashboard.

💡 Tip: For the fastest incremental syncs, enable Ascending Keys only if your Dropbox data is organized with timestamped or sequentially ordered filenames.
