To connect Dropbox to Squarespace and display your Dropbox images on your site, follow these steps:

Connect Dropbox Account

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

Set Up Dropbox Folders

  1. Log into Dropbox
  2. Navigate to /Apps/Squarespace/
  3. Create a folder named with your Account ID (the part before .squarespace.com)
  4. Inside that folder, create separate folders for each gallery page
  5. Add your images to these folders

Supported File Types:

  • .png
  • .jpg
  • .gif Note: Add underscore (_) before filename to exclude images

Publish Gallery Pages

  1. Go to Connected Accounts panel
  2. Click "Publish to Squarespace" under Dropbox
  3. Find new gallery pages in Not linked section
  4. Drag pages to navigation menus as needed

Sync Changes

  1. Open Connected Accounts panel
  2. Click "Publish to Squarespace"
  3. Wait for sync to complete

Important Notes:

  • Changes in Dropbox require manual sync
  • Deleting Dropbox content removes it from your site
  • For large uploads, sync may take several minutes
  • If sync fails, wait and refresh the gallery page

Pro Tip: Organize your Dropbox folders before initial sync to ensure proper gallery structure on your Squarespace site.

Follow this structure for best results: /Apps/Squarespace/[AccountID]/[GalleryName]/[Images]
