Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Dropbox account to use this plugin?

Yes, you need a Dropbox account. The plugin connects your WordPress site with your Dropbox storage.

Is it safe to connect my Dropbox account?

Yes. You connect using your own Dropbox App with an App Key and Secret Key. All communication is encrypted and goes directly between your server and Dropbox. We do not store or access your files.

Can I use my own Dropbox app?

Yes. You can connect with your own app for better security and control. We recommend this setup.

Does this plugin store files on my WordPress hosting server?

No. All files stay in your Dropbox. The plugin only displays, embeds, or links them in WordPress. This saves hosting space and bandwidth.

Can I use Dropbox files in WooCommerce?

Yes. With the Pro version, you can manage and sell downloadable WooCommerce products directly from Dropbox.

Does it work with Elementor and Gutenberg?

Yes. The plugin comes with ready-to-use widgets for Elementor and multiple Gutenberg blocks so you can easily embed galleries, file browsers, sliders, and media players.

Can users upload files to my Dropbox through my site?

Yes. You can allow logged-in users or form submissions (CF7, Elementor, etc.) to upload files directly to your Dropbox. You can even assign each user a personal folder.

Can I embed videos and documents from Dropbox?

Yes. You can embed images, videos, PDFs, Word, Excel, and other supported file formats directly into your posts and pages.

Will the plugin slow down my website?

No. Files are served directly from Dropbox. The plugin is optimized to minimize API calls, and caching is used to keep your site fast.

What happens if I uninstall the plugin?

Your Dropbox files remain safe in your account. The plugin only disconnects the link between your site and Dropbox.

Is there a limit on the file size I can upload?

Dropbox allows up to 350MB per file if you upload via their desktop app or API. The plugin follows Dropbox’s limits, but your WordPress server settings (PHP upload size, execution time) may also affect uploads.

Can I restrict file access for specific users?

Yes. You can create user-specific folders so only assigned users can view or upload files.

Amazing Plugin for Dropbox Integration!

As a WordPress user, I have to say that the "Integrate Dropbox" plugin has been a game-changer for me. I manage all my images, videos, PDFs, and other documents seamlessly through Dropbox instead of using my website's hosting space, which has saved me both time and server resources. The plugin is incredibly easy to set up, and it integrates perfectly with WordPress. Now, I can access and manage my Dropbox files directly from the WordPress media library. It’s such a relief to have everything in one place without worrying about storage limitations. If you're looking for an efficient way to manage files in WordPress using Dropbox, this plugin is an absolute must-have. Highly recommend! Keven
