You can connect your Dropbox account in two ways:


  • Option 1: While creating a workflow (recommended if you're setting up a workflow now)
  • Option 2: From the Connections page (recommended if you're prepping accounts ahead of time)


Option 1: Connect Dropbox During Workflow Creation


  1. Go to the Workflows page and click Create workflow (left side dashboard).
  2. Choose your workflow type (Repurpose New Content or Existing Content).
  3. Select Dropbox as the source (left-menu) or destination (right-menu).
  4. After selecting, two things can happen depending on your situation:
  • If this is your first time connecting a Dropbox account, you'll be redirected to the Dropbox login page.
  • If you’ve already connected Dropbox accounts to Repurpose, a pop-up will appear with a list of them. Click Add new Dropbox account to connect another one, and you'll be redirected to the Dropbox login page.


ℹ️ In both cases, if you're already logged into a Dropbox account on the Dropbox website, it will be recognized automatically and you'll skip the login page and move straight to the next step.


  1. A page will appear showing the permissions being granted. Click Allow to finish connecting your account.


Option 2: Connect Dropbox from the Connections Page


  1. Go to the Connections page from the left side menu.
  2. Click Add a New Connection (top right).
  3. Select Dropbox from the list.
  4. A pop-up will appear where you can optionally edit the connection name.
  5. After selecting, two things can happen depending on your situation:
  • If this is your first time connecting a Dropbox account, you'll be redirected to the Dropbox login page.
  • If you’ve already connected Dropbox accounts to Repurpose, a pop-up will appear with a list of them. Click Add new Dropbox account to connect another one, and you'll be redirected to the Dropbox login page.


ℹ️ In both cases, if you're already logged into a Dropbox account on the Dropbox website, it will be recognized automatically and you'll skip the login page and move straight to the next step.


  1. A page will appear showing the permissions being granted. Click Allow to finish connecting your account.



Note: Dropbox can only be used as a destination when creating a workflow through the Backups option in the left-hand sidebar. Selecting this option will start the workflow creation process and allow you to choose Dropbox as the destination.
