The Dropbox Source Connector allows you to integrate Dropbox as a data source for your pipelines. This guide explains the configuration options available when setting up a Dropbox connector.

Configure the connector

To configure a connector to your Dropbox account:

1. Click Source Connectors from the main menu.

2. Click New Source Connector from the Source Connectors page.

3. Select the Dropbox card.

Configuring the Dropbox Connector in a RAG Pipeline

You can think of the Dropbox connector as having two parts to it. The first is authorization with your Dropbox account. This part is re-usable across pipelines and allows you to connect to this same account in different pipelines without providing the credentials every time.

The second part is the configuration that's specific to your RAG Pipeline. By default the connector will read your entire Dropbox account. However you can specify a folder (or multiple) to read from by providing the path to the folder in the configuration. The specified folder will be a root folder and all subfolders will be read as well.

• If you're ready to start producing vector embeddings from your input data, head to Pipeline Basics. Select your new connector as the data source to use it in your pipeline.
