Tableau Connector for Dropbox

Build 25.0.9434

Folders

Lists folders within a user's Dropbox account, along with metadata including folder paths and creation details.

Table Specific Information

The following scope is required to access this view: files.metadata.read

Select

The connector uses the Dropbox API to process search criteria that refer to the Id, FolderPath, or exact matches on the DisplayPath column. Other filters are processed client-side within the connector.

For example, the following queries are processed server-side:

-- Retrieves a specific folder by its unique Id
SELECT * FROM Folders WHERE Id = 'id:a4ayc_80_OEAAAAAAAAAXz';

-- Retrieves folders under the specified path (server-side filtering)
SELECT * FROM Folders WHERE FolderPath = '/Test Folder';

-- Retrieves exactly one folder with this display path (server-side filtering)
SELECT * FROM Folders WHERE DisplayPath = '/folder1/folderA/folderB/folderC';

Delete

The connector uses the Dropbox API to process search criteria that refer to the Id column in order to perform a DELETE operation on a folder.

For example, the following queries are processed server-side:

-- Deletes a folder by Id
DELETE FROM Folders WHERE Id = 'id:a4ayc_80_OEAAAAAAAAAYa';

-- Deletes multiple folders by Id
DELETE FROM Folders WHERE Id IN ('id:a4ayc_80_OEAAAAAAAAAYa', 'id:a4aad_40_OEACHSB3234234');
