Connect Dropbox
Give Orcha read-only access to Dropbox and index the folders with documents that you want to search.
The Dropbox connector reads supported document files from your Dropbox. It uses scoped, read-only OAuth access. It does not upload, edit, move, share, or delete Dropbox content.
You must have the workspace admin role in Orcha and a Dropbox account.
Add the connector
- Open Connectors and choose Dropbox.
- Approve the Dropbox consent screen. The request gives access to account information and file reads only.
- Orcha makes a catalog of your files and folders. The catalog has names, paths, sizes, and revisions. Orcha does not store file bodies.
Choose what gets indexed
Dropbox starts in Index names only mode. To keep supported document content, set rules for each folder. Change notifications and cursor-based deltas keep the catalog current. If you delete a file in Dropbox, Orcha removes it from the index. If you delete a folder, Orcha removes all of the content below that folder.
Use it
Search returns indexed documents with a citation to the exact file and revision. Each result has a link into Dropbox. You can search from the Orcha app, the REST API, and AI assistants that connect over MCP.
Remove it
- Pause stops the sync. Indexed content stays searchable.
- Revoke makes the Orcha Dropbox credential invalid and deactivates the source. Orcha keeps the indexed content until you disconnect or reconnect.
- Disconnect deletes indexed documents, search chunks, cached content, and sync state from your workspace.
- From Dropbox: remove Orcha under Connected apps. Then disconnect in Orcha to also delete the indexed content.
