# How do I connect my Dropbox account?

If you use Dropbox to manage your files, this video shows you how to link it to Dronedesk. Once connected, you’ll be able to attach relevant folders and documents to your jobs.

If you use **Dropbox** and want to link it to Dronedesk, you can do so at **three levels**: business, project, and job.

### Setting Up Dropbox Integration

#### **1\. Business Level**

-   Go to the **top right menu**, click **“Settings”**, then select **“Integrations”** and choose **“Dropbox.”**
    
-   You’ll see a field asking for a **Dropbox shared folder URL**.
    
-   In **Dropbox**, locate your business folder, click **“Share”**, go to **“Settings”**, and generate either a view only or editable link.
    
-   **Copy the link** and paste it into Dronedesk.
    
-   Click **“Test Access.”**
    
    -   If successful, the folder will display in a frame within Dronedesk.
        
    -   Click **“Looks Good”** to confirm.
        
    -   There is additional guidance provided if anything goes wrong.
        

Your **business level Dropbox folder** is now connected.

#### **2\. Project Level**

-   Go to a project in Dronedesk and click **“Edit Project.”**
    
-   Scroll down to the Dropbox folder section.
    
-   In Dropbox, open your **project folder**, click **“Share”**, and copy the link.
    
-   Paste the link into the field in Dronedesk and **save the changes**.
    

When you return to **Manage Project**, you’ll now see both the **business level** and **project level** folders under the **Dropbox tab**. You can access files from these folders directly, download them, and manage them as needed.

#### **3\. Job Level**

-   Open a job under the project, then click **“Edit Job.”**
    
-   In Dropbox, go to the **specific job folder**, click **“Share”**, and create a link if one hasn’t been created.
    
-   Copy the link, paste it into the Dropbox field in Dronedesk, and **save the changes**.
    

### Viewing Dropbox Folders in Dronedesk

After setup, when you visit the job record, you’ll see a **Dropbox section** displaying:

-   The **business level folder**
    
-   The **project level folder**
    
-   The **job specific folder**
    

Each section allows you to **access and download files** as needed, creating a seamless connection between your Dropbox structure and your Dronedesk workspace.
