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

Step 1 - Connect Dropbox Account

  1. Navigate to "Connected Accounts" menu
  2. Click "Connect Account"
  3. Choose Dropbox from Social Accounts
  4. Enter your Dropbox credentials
  5. Click "Allow" to authorize

Step 2 - Set Up Dropbox Folders

  1. Access your Dropbox account
  2. Create a folder path: /Apps/Squarespace/[Your-Account-ID]
    • Note: Your Account ID is the first part of your built-in domain (before .squarespace.com)
  3. Create subfolders for each gallery page you want
    • Folder names will become gallery page titles
  4. Add your images to these folders

Supported File Types:

  • .png
  • .jpg
  • .gif
  • To exclude files, add underscore (_) before filename

Step 3 - Publish and Sync

  1. Return to Connected Accounts panel
  2. Click "Publish to Squarespace" under Dropbox
  3. Find new gallery pages in "Unlinked" section
  4. Organize pages in navigation menus

Updating Your Galleries:

  1. Add or remove images in Dropbox folders
  2. Go to Connected Accounts
  3. Click "Publish to Squarespace"
  4. Wait for sync to complete

Troubleshooting: If you receive a "Sync failed" error after adding many images:

  1. Wait several minutes
  2. Refresh the gallery page
  3. Verify new images appear

Note: Deleting folders or content from Dropbox will remove them from your site automatically.
