This page describes how to connect Dropbox to Agentspace.
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.
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, follow these steps:
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Agentspace page.
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 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.
Next steps
To attach your data store to an app, create an app and select your data store
