Connect your Dropbox to display images on your Squarespace site by following these three simple steps:

Connect Dropbox Account

  1. Open Connected Accounts panel
  2. Click Connect Account
  3. Select Dropbox from Social Accounts
  4. Sign in with Dropbox credentials
  5. Click Allow

Set Up Dropbox Folders

  1. Navigate to /Apps/Squarespace/ in your Dropbox
  2. Create a folder named with your Account ID (found in your Squarespace domain)
  3. Inside that folder, create separate folders for each gallery page
  4. 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

  1. Go to Connected Accounts panel
  2. Click "Publish to Squarespace" under Dropbox
  3. Find new gallery pages in the Unlinked section
  4. 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.
