Connect Your Dropbox to Squarespace: Step-by-Step Guide
Dropbox lets you display images from your cloud storage directly on your Squarespace gallery pages. Here's how to set it up:
Connect Your Dropbox Account
- Open Connected Accounts panel
- Click Connect Account
- Select Dropbox from Social Accounts
- Log in with your Dropbox credentials
- Click Allow
Create Your Dropbox Folder Structure
- Log into Dropbox
- Navigate to "/Apps/Squarespace/"
- Create a folder named with your account ID (the first part of your built-in domain)
- Inside that folder, create sub-folders for each gallery page
- Add your images to these folders
Supported File Types:
- .png
- .jpg
- .gif
Note: Add an underscore (_) before filenames to prevent them from displaying on your site.
Publish Your Gallery
- Return to Connected Accounts panel
- Click "Publish to Squarespace" under Dropbox
- Find new gallery pages in the "Unlinked" section
- Drag pages to navigation menu sections as needed
Sync Updates
To update your galleries after making changes in Dropbox:
- Open Connected Accounts panel
- Click "Publish to Squarespace"
Troubleshooting
If you receive a "Sync failed" message when syncing large numbers of images:
- Wait a few minutes
- Refresh the gallery page
- Check if new images have appeared
Remember: Deleting folders or files from your Dropbox directory will remove them from your Squarespace site during the next sync.
