Integrate Dropbox with Shop Uploader
Learn how you can access special features with Dropbox.The Dropbox integration is in beta and pending approval from Dropbox. More images and examples will be added to this article as the beta proceeds. Please contact support for more information.
Private Dropbox URLs
Normally, Shop Uploader requires that your URLs be publicly accessible over the internet. But with the Dropbox™ integration, you can use your file paths to upload file from your Dropbox.
This process works for images, videos, and digital files!
Shop Uploader will download files directly from your Dropbox during the upload process and the file will never need to be shared publicly over the internet!
Using the Dropbox file path
You can also use the path to a file in your Dropbox. This is a game-changer for Dropbox users. As long as you have a sorted file-system, you will be able to use links without manually copying or sharing.
Have your images named by SKU? If you know the SKU, you know the path!

Have your images sorted into folders? If you know the SKU, you know the path!

Dropbox path structure
Dropbox paths must start with dropbox://
, followed by the file path.
Root
A file in the root of your Dropbox (not within any folders) would look like this:
