How to Connect and Sync Dropbox with Squarespace: A Step-by-Step Guide
Connect your Dropbox to display images on your Squarespace site by following these three simple steps:
Connect Dropbox Account
- Open Connected Accounts panel
- Click Connect Account
- Select Dropbox from Social Accounts
- Sign in with Dropbox credentials
- Click Allow
Set Up Dropbox Folders
- Navigate to /Apps/Squarespace/ in your Dropbox
- Create a folder named with your Account ID (found in your Squarespace domain)
- Inside that folder, create separate folders for each gallery page
- Add your images to these folders
Note: Only .png, .jpg, and .gif files are supported. Add an underscore (_) before filenames to hide them from sync.
Publish to Squarespace
- Go to Connected Accounts panel
- Click "Publish to Squarespace" under Dropbox
- Find new gallery pages in the Unlinked section
- Drag pages to navigation menus as needed
Syncing Updates
To sync new changes:
- Return to Connected Accounts panel
- Click "Publish to Squarespace"
- Wait a few minutes if syncing large numbers of files
- Refresh gallery pages to verify sync
Remember: Deleting folders or content from Dropbox will remove them from your site. If you experience sync errors with large uploads, wait several minutes and refresh the gallery page.
