This page describes how to connect Dropbox to Agentspace Enterprise.
After you set up your data source and import data the first time, the data store syncs data from that source at a frequency that you select during setup.
Before you begin
Before setting up your connection:
Set up access control for your data source. For more information, see Use data source access control.
Have the following Dropbox authentication information ready. For information about setting up these parameters, see the OAuth Guide in the Dropbox documentation.
- Client ID
- Client secret
Create a Dropbox connector
Console
To use the Google Cloud console to sync data from Dropbox to Agentspace Enterprise, follow these steps:
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Agentspace Enterprise page.
In the navigation menu, click Data Stores.
Click Create data store.
On the Select a data source page, scroll or search for Dropbox to connect your third-party source.
Enter your Dropbox authentication information and click Authenticate. A new window appears.
Authenticate your account and confirm that it succeeded before returning to the Specify the Dropbox source for your data store page.
Select which entities to sync and click Continue.
Select a location for your data store.
Enter a name for your data store.
Select a synchronization frequency for your data store.
Click Create. Agentspace Enterprise creates your data store and displays your data stores on the Data stores page.
To check the status of your ingestion, go to the Data stores page and click your data store name to see details about it on its Data page. The Connector state changes from Creating to Running when it starts synchronizing data. When ingestion is complete, the state changes to Active to indicate that the connection to your data source is set up and awaiting the next scheduled synchronization. Check the Documents tab to make sure your entities have been ingested correctly.
Depending on the size of your data, ingestion can take minutes or hours.
