Setting up Dropbox as a Source

👥

Access Required

Guru Access: You need to be an Admin in Guru to set up sources.

Dropbox Access: To connect, make sure your Dropbox credentials include the following scopes:

• files.metadata.read
• sharing.read
• files.metadata.write
• files.content.write
• files.content.read
• sharing.write

If you want to inherit your team's permissions from Dropbox you need to be an Admin.

Setting up Dropbox as a Source

1. Navigate to Manage > Sources.
2. Select Dropbox from the icon menu.
3. Click Authorize Access and log in to Box.
4. Next you'll choose which content to sync - this is called Selective Sync. Limiting the synced content to only what's necessary improves sync speed and search relevance. You can also choose to sync all data.
5. If you want to set up permissions to content in Guru, specify which Guru Groups should have access to the content once synced. Otherwise, if you choose "Use permissions from Dropbox" - Knowledge Agents will respect the permissions from Dropbox.
   1. Admins have the option of adding a Source Owner for each Source. Source Owners can add Viewers or other Owners, and delete the Source.
   2. An Owner can be added during this initial setup stage, or later by clicking manage access for that Source.
6. Guru will send a confirmation email when the initial sync is complete. This will also be indicated in the web app when you see the Sync status change from "Initializing" to "Synced."
