Connect your Dropbox account to Squarespace in just 3 simple steps to display your Dropbox images on Gallery Pages.

Step 1: Connect Accounts

  1. Navigate to "Linked Accounts"
  2. Click "Connect Account"
  3. Choose Dropbox from Social Accounts
  4. Sign in to Dropbox
  5. Click "Allow" to authorize connection

Step 2: Set Up Dropbox Folders

  1. Access your Dropbox account
  2. Create a folder in /Apps/Squarespace/ using your account ID (found before .squarespace.com)
  3. Inside that folder, create subfolders for each Gallery Page
  4. Add your images to these folders

Supported file types:

  • .png
  • .jpg
  • .gif

Note: Add underscore (_) before filenames to prevent them from displaying on your site.

Step 3: Publish Gallery Pages

  1. Return to Connected Accounts panel
  2. Click "Publish to Squarespace" in Dropbox section
  3. Find new Gallery Pages in Unlinked section
  4. Drag pages to navigation menu sections
  5. Sync again to view changes

Syncing Updates

To sync new changes:

  1. Open "Linked Accounts"
  2. Click "Publish to Squarespace" in Dropbox section

Important: Deleting folders or content in Dropbox will remove them from your site.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter sync failure after adding many images:

  1. Wait a few minutes
  2. Refresh the Gallery Page
  3. Check if new images appear

This delay is normal for large file uploads and usually resolves automatically.
