Dropbox
Dropbox is a cloud-based file storage and sharing service. Connect it to Klipfolio Klips to pull data from your files into automated, real-time dashboards — no manual exports required.
Tracking your files and sharing data across teams shouldn't mean exporting CSVs by hand. Connect Dropbox to Klipfolio Klips and your file data flows directly into dashboards that update on a schedule you control.
How to connect Dropbox to Klipfolio
Dropbox uses OAuth authentication, making this a moderate-complexity setup. You'll authenticate once, then select the files you want to pull into your dashboards.
- In the left navigation sidebar, click + beside Data Sources. If you don't see this option, go to the bottom of the sidebar and click your Account Name > Data Sources > Create a New Data Source.
- On the Where is your data? page, select Dropbox.
- Click Sign in to Dropbox, enter your credentials, and click Grant Access.
- Save your OAuth credentials when prompted.
- Use the file selection tool to locate your data file. Click the folder icon to browse subfolders.
- Click Get data, review the preview, and optionally select Model your data to reshape it before use.
- Click Continue, then name your data source, set a refresh schedule, and click Save.
Your data source is now available in your Data Source Library and ready to use in any Klip.
