This connector is read-focused - Demiton does not write files to Dropbox.
Registers this connector fills
Dropbox keeps 2 registers current in Civil Memory. Each name is the record you ask for, not the system it came from - ask for it in Studio or from your own AI client.
| Register | What it holds | Fields from Dropbox |
|---|---|---|
Compliance documentscompliance_documents | Safety and compliance documents attached to projects or workers. | Fills all of 13 |
Document listdocument_list | Documents and files in your connected storage. Live, bound to connected storage, but with no published contract yet. | Fills all of 0 |
The full field list, requiredness and an example record for any register are on its published contract. Where more than one system fills a register, the register is the same shape either way.
Integration model
Section titled “Integration model”The adapter authenticates with a long-lived OAuth 2.0 refresh token and calls Dropbox API v2. FETCH on files supports recursive or flat listing with optional extension filtering; LOOKUP downloads file content or returns the member list of a shared folder.
Connection setup
Section titled “Connection setup”Required values:
- App Key - Dropbox app key
- App Secret - Dropbox app secret
- Refresh Token - obtained via the Dropbox OAuth flow
Security
Section titled “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.
