Dropbox Connector (Beta)

Access knowledge from Dropbox

How it works

The Dropbox connector ingests all documents from your Dropbox account into Hymalaia.

• It recursively pulls all files from the root directory.
• Pulling from specific directories is not supported.
• The connector only pulls once upon initialization.
• To re-ingest documents, a new access token must be generated and the connector must be re-initialized.
