Step-by-Step

Create a data source using Dropbox

To create a data source using a file stored on Dropbox, you need to accomplish 3 tasks:

Start the data source creation process.
Authenticate with Dropbox.
Use the data connector to select a file.

Note: This guide assumes that you already have an active Dropbox account.

Step 1: Start the data source creation process

To create a data source using Dropbox, go to the Connector Gallery page in Klipfolio and select Dropbox.

Step 2: Authenticate with Dropbox

Click the Sign In to Dropbox button.
Sign in to your Dropbox account.
Click the Grant Access button.
Save your OAuth Credentials.

Step 3: Select the data file

Select your data file using the selection tool.
If the file is located within a sub-folder, click the folder icon to view its contents.
Click the Submit button.

Note: In addition to your raw data source, you can create a modelled version of your data source at this stage. To create a modelled data source, ensure that the checkbox next to Model this data source is selected before clicking Continue.
