FETCH on files supports recursive traversal or flat listing, with optional extension filtering. LOOKUP on files downloads the file content. LOOKUP on folder_members returns the member list for a shared folder.

This connector is read-focused - Demiton does not write files to Dropbox.

Connection setup

Required values:

  • App Key - Dropbox app key
  • App Secret - Dropbox app secret
  • Refresh Token - obtained via the Dropbox OAuth flow

Security

Access type: Read-only

Demiton reads files and folder metadata from Dropbox. No files are written or deleted.

Permissions required: Dropbox OAuth app with access scoped to the folders your workflows need. Use the minimum Dropbox permission scope required - files.content.read and sharing.read for most workflows.

Data sensitivity: Depends on the content stored. Document access in Demiton is subject to identity-bound access controls.
