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

  1. Navigate to "Linked Accounts"
  2. Click "Connect Account"
  3. Choose Dropbox from Social Accounts
  4. Log in with your Dropbox credentials
  5. Click "Allow" to authorize

Step 2: Set Up Dropbox Folders

  1. Open your Dropbox account
  2. Locate the /Apps/Squarespace/ folder
  3. Create a folder named with your account ID (found before .squarespace.com)
  4. Inside this folder, create separate 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.

Step 3: Publish Content

  1. Return to Connected Accounts
  2. Click "Publish to Squarespace" in the Dropbox section
  3. Find new Gallery Pages in the Unlinked section
  4. 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:

  1. Wait a few minutes
  2. Refresh the Gallery Page
  3. Check if images appear

Remember: Deleting folders or content from Dropbox will remove them from your site as well.
