​
Using Dropbox with Cloudglue

We offer a couple of ways to use your Dropbox files with Cloudglue. We support Dropbox shareable links via our API. These are the links that you can share with others to give them access to a file or folder in your Dropbox account via Dropbox itself. Example: 
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/SOME_ID/SOME_OTHER_ID?rlkey=SOME_KEY&st=SOME_TIME&dl=0

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.cloudglue.dev/v1/describe \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "url": "https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/SOME_ID/SOME_OTHER_ID?rlkey=SOME_KEY&st=SOME_TIME&dl=0",
  "enable_summary": true,
  "enable_speech": true,
  "enable_visual_scene_description": true,
  "enable_scene_text": true,
}'

​
Custom URI via API

To use Dropbox files via our API that Cloudglue has access to, you can use the dropbox:// prefix in your Cloudglue API requests. Example: 
dropbox://<path>/<to>/<file>

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.cloudglue.dev/v1/describe \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "url": "dropbox://<path>/<to>/<file>",
  "enable_summary": true,
  "enable_speech": true,
  "enable_visual_scene_description": true,
  "enable_scene_text": true,
}'

Bulk Import

For your convenience, we have a integration with Dropbox that you can use to import files directly from Dropbox website into Cloudglue. File Chooser To access this page, visit our app and click on Bulk Import under the Dropbox connector. Bulk Import

​
Security

Security is paramount, we use a Dropbox app to access your files. This approach:
  • Maintains your control - You own and manage the app
  • Follows Dropbox security patterns - Uses standard Dropbox app access
  • Provides granular permissions - Only grants the minimum access needed
  • Easy to revoke - Simply delete the app or modify permissions
