Dropbox

🚀 Quickstart

Connect to Dropbox with Nango and see data flow in 2 minutes.

Create the integration

In Nango (free signup), go to Integrations -> Configure New Integration -> Dropbox.

Nango has a Nango-managed OAuth app you can use in development and production. Select it when you create the integration.

Authorize Dropbox

Go to Connections -> Add Test Connection -> Authorize, then log in to Dropbox. Later, you’ll let your users do the same directly from your app.

Call the Dropbox API

Let’s make your first request to the Dropbox API. Replace the placeholders below with your Environment API key, integration ID, and connection ID:

cURL
Node

curl "https://api.nango.dev/proxy/2/files/list_folder" \
  -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-API-KEY>" \
  -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
  -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"path": ""}'

Install Nango’s backend SDK with npm i @nangohq/node. Then run:

import { Nango } from '@nangohq/node';

const nango = new Nango({ apiKey: '<NANGO-API-KEY>' });

const res = await nango.post({
    endpoint: '/2/files/list_folder',
    providerConfigKey: '<INTEGRATION-ID>',
    connectionId: '<CONNECTION-ID>',
    body: { path: '' }
});

console.log(res.data);

Or fetch credentials with the Node SDK or API.✅ You’re connected! Check the Logs tab in Nango to inspect requests.
