Dropbox Integration With the WordPress Media Library

Once you've connected WP Media Folder with Dropbox you'll be able to manage Dropbox files among WordPress media, from the media library. The Dropbox integration allows you to embed (load from Dropbox servers) one or several Dropbox media in WordPress. The media will be added in the content like any WordPress media without any difference with the usual media library.

The Dropbox WordPress plugin is fully integrated with Gutenberg editor, including with all 3rd party image and media blocks plugins. In a word, you can use Dropbox media as your default media manager.

You can import Dropbox media in the WordPress Media library and use them among any others. The Dropbox media import can be done in a specific Media Folder, so everything stays organized in your media library.

Embed media or importing media from Dropbox to WordPress is covered. But you can also move media from WordPress to Dropbox by just by using drag'n drop. Media will be instantly placed in the synchronization queue and uploaded right away.

The Dropbox WordPress plugin integration can perform all the major media library actions you can expect, like:

• Create, delete, rename & move media from Dropbox then use them in WordPress
• Create, delete, rename, download & move Dropbox files from the WordPress media library
• Order Dropbox media in the WordPress media manager
• Make a multi selection of Dropbox media to perform bulk actions
• Search through Dropbox media in the WordPress media manager

The Dropbox WordPress plugin includes advanced options for the media synchronization with WordPress. You can perform:

• Automatic and global synchronization
• Force a global and instant synchronization from WordPress
• Force a single media folder synchronization from WordPress
• Determine if your media links are public (accessible through a link) or remain private

WP Media Folder got an inbuilt PDF embeder feature. The Dropbox integration allows you to embed (integrate in WordPress content) your PDF stored on Dropbox. All the PDF embeder are supported like pagination, zoom, rotation....

Once a media is added to your WordPress media library, some thumbnails are generated, at least 3 for each image. These thumbnails are mainly used for performance purpose, not to load the full image. WP Media Folder Dropbox connector is handling that by attaching thumbnails when the image is moved to the WordPress library or to Dropbox.

Restrict access to your Dropbox media using WP Media. WP Media Folder has a tool to limit media access and media management to a single user or WP user role (share access to all media that belongs to a user role). This is quite useful when you got several content editors on your website. It's also possible to make the Dropbox media link accessible to public or private.

Don't worry, you don't have to be a developer to ensure the connection works :) There's 2 connection methods, the first one is click and connect using your Dropbox username and password. The second method is to create your own Dropbox App to get your credentials. There are several synchronization methods that fit different server requirements, such as AJAX sync, Curl, or custom Cron tasks. You can also setup a synchronization delay or force the synchronization manually. Finally there's also the online documentation and our support team is available to help you with any configuration.
