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

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

Create Your Dropbox Folder Structure

  1. Log into Dropbox
  2. Navigate to "/Apps/Squarespace/"
  3. Create a folder named with your account ID (the first part of your built-in domain)
  4. Inside that folder, create sub-folders for each gallery page
  5. 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

  1. Return 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 menu sections as needed

Sync Updates

To update your galleries after making changes in Dropbox:

  1. Open Connected Accounts panel
  2. Click "Publish to Squarespace"

Troubleshooting

If you receive a "Sync failed" message when syncing large numbers of images:

  1. Wait a few minutes
  2. Refresh the gallery page
  3. 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.
