How to Link Dropbox with Squarespace: A Step-by-Step Guide
Connect Dropbox to Squarespace to publish your Dropbox images directly to Gallery Pages. Follow these simple steps to sync your content:
Step 1: Connect Accounts
- Navigate to "Linked Accounts"
- Click "Connect Account"
- Choose Dropbox from Social Accounts
- Log in with your Dropbox credentials
- Click "Allow" to authorize
Step 2: Set Up Dropbox Folders
- Open your Dropbox account
- Locate the /Apps/Squarespace/ folder
- Create a folder named with your account ID (found before .squarespace.com)
- Inside this folder, create separate 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.
Step 3: Publish Content
- Return to Connected Accounts
- Click "Publish to Squarespace" in the Dropbox section
- Find new Gallery Pages in the Unlinked section
- Drag pages to navigation menus as desired
Syncing Updates:
- Initial sync publishes all folder images
- For new changes, repeat the sync process
- Open Linked Accounts
- Click "Publish to Squarespace"
Troubleshooting: If you encounter a "Sync Failure" with large image uploads:
- Wait a few minutes
- Refresh the Gallery Page
- Check if images appear
Remember: Deleting folders or content from Dropbox will remove them from your site as well.
