Dropbox for Business Connector

Intro

Dropbox for Business is a file sharing and storage solution that allows users to share, store, and sync files securely. You can use Domo's Dropbox for Business connector to compile reports about account information, team information, audit log, and team usage statistics. To learn more about the Dropbox for Business API, go to https://www.dropbox.com/developers/business.

Domo also includes an advanced Dropbox for Business connector that offers an additional report ("Groups Information") and provides additional filtering options for the "Audit Log" report. For more information, see Dropbox For Business Advanced Connector.

This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Dropbox for Business connector user interface. For general information about adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information, see Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Prerequisites

To connect to your Dropbox account and create a Dropbox for Business connector DataSet, you must have the following:

The account you use to log into your Dropbox account.
The password you use to log into your Dropbox account.

If you don't have credentials you can get them here: https://www.dropbox.com/business

Connecting to your Dropbox account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Dropbox for Business connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Credentials Pane

The Domo Dropbox for Business connector uses OAuth to connect to Dropbox for Business. (Domo does not store or transmit user passwords.) Click Connect (or select Add Account if you have existing Dropbox accounts in Domo) to open the Dropbox OAuth screen where you can enter the account and password associated with your Dropbox account. After you have entered valid Dropbox credentials, you can use the same account in Domo any time you create a Dropbox for Business DataSet.

You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.

Details Pane

This pane includes a single menu from which you select a report type. The following table describes all of the reports you can create using the Dropbox for Business connector:

Report	Description
Audit Log	Accesses the Dropbox for Business audit log for a team.
Linked Devices	Retrieves reporting data about a team's linked devices.
Members	Lists members of a team.
Membership	Retrieves reporting data about a team's membership.
Storage usage	Retrieves reporting data about a team's storage usage.
Team Information	Retrieves information about a team.

FAQ

How do I know my Dropbox account credentials are secure?

The login process uses the OAuth process, so your Dropbox credentials are never seen or stored by Domo. This keeps your login secure. You can revoke Domo's access to your account at any time.

How often can the data be updated?

As often as needed.

Are there any API limits that I need to be aware of?

No.

What's the difference between this connector and Dropbox For Business Advanced connector?
