About the Dropbox integration

Add the Dropbox piece to a flow, connect your account once, and the rest of the builder can read from it and write to it. Because the piece is open source you can run it on our cloud or self-host it, and combine Dropbox with 760+ other apps in the same flow.

Use Dropbox in a flow

Connect Dropbox once and every trigger and action above is yours to drop into the builder, alongside 760+ other apps. Free to start, on our cloud or your own servers.

Dropbox, answered.

Yes. Activepieces is open source and free to start, and the Dropbox piece is included on every plan, from the free cloud tier to any self-hosted deployment.

Add the Dropbox piece to a flow, then authenticate with OAuth 2.0. Once connected, its 1 trigger and 14 actions are available anywhere in the builder.

"New Folder" can start a flow that runs "Search", and you can chain Dropbox together with any of 760+ other apps and AI steps in between.

Yes. Activepieces is fully self-hostable, so you can run the Dropbox piece on your own infrastructure with your connections and your data staying in your environment.
