Dropbox (Personal)

Ingests files and folders from a personal Dropbox account. Behaves like the Business variant but excludes shared team folders.

What gets ingested

Element Mapped to
Files _FileEntry + _Blob
Folders _Folder, linked via _HasChild
File metadata (rev, size, modified) Properties on _FileEntry

Authentication

  • Type: OAuth 2.0 (per-user).
  • Requested scopes: account_info.read, files.content.read, files.metadata.read, sharing.read.

Access control mapping

Source Carried into the graph?
Personal account Yes — single connecting user owns the ingested items.
Shared / team folders Filtered out — use the Dropbox (Business) variant for those.

Sync cadence

  • Default cron: every 15 minutes.
  • Incremental sync: delta cursor on the root namespace.

Notable

  • Connecting the same account in both Personal and Business modes simultaneously can cause duplication — pick one variant per user.
