How it works
The Dropbox connector ingests all documents from your Dropbox account into Onyx. The connector recursively pulls all files from the root directory of your Dropbox account. It is currently not possible to pull files only from specific directories. The connector will only pull once upon initialization. If you would like to pull more documents, you must generate a new access token (step 6 below), put that token into the connector, and re-initialize the connector.Setting up
