Need solution for Dropbox information to a CMS / CLM or Excel w/Links

Is it possible to automate output of Dropbox information into an excel spreadsheet with links to the files?

I am tasked with creating a Contracts Management System using the information provided by Dropbox as the cloud storage solution of choice. Does anyone know if Dropbox integrates with any Contracts Management System / Contract Lifecycle Management System? If it does not, what about an export of file and file folder information with links to the individual files?

I believe this might be possible via API but I'm non-technical and not 100% sure, I'm going to move this post over to the API forum so someone can take a look

Hi @ltubbeCE,

Dropbox does offer an API you can use for listing, uploading, and downloading files, among other operations. You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here:

If you need to list your files and folders, you can use the /files/list_folder[/continue] endpoints. However, there isn’t a built-in feature to export this information as a CSV file — that functionality would need to be implemented on your side. Unfortunately, I’m unable to provide specific guidance on how to export the data to a CSV file. However, other members of the Dropbox Community may have experience with this and could share their approach.

For more information on listing files, please review the following guide:

DBX File Access Guide - Traversing Files and Folders

If you need to get a temporary link to a file, you can use the /2/files/get_temporary_link endpoint. If you need a shared link that doesn’t expire by default, you can use the /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings endpoint.
