Name: Easy Integration for Dropbox – File Manager
Rating: 5 (5 reviews)
Author: ultraDevs

Easy Integration for Dropbox – File Manager connects your WordPress site directly to Dropbox, so you can browse, embed, upload, and manage files without ever touching your server’s storage. Your files stay in Dropbox — WordPress just displays and manages them.

Whether you need a simple download link, a full image gallery, or a way for visitors to upload files straight into your Dropbox account, the shortcode builder, Gutenberg blocks, and page-builder widgets get you there in minutes — no code required.

💡 Why Choose Easy Dropbox Integration?

✅ Save server space — Dropbox stores the files, not your WordPress host, so large media libraries never eat your hosting quota.
✅ No coding required — a visual shortcode builder plus Gutenberg, Elementor, and Divi support handle the setup.
✅ Built-in previews — PDFs, Office documents, images, and video open in a responsive popup, no download needed.
✅ Form-ready uploads — connect Contact Form 7 (or WPForms, Ninja Forms, and more with PRO) so submissions upload straight to Dropbox.
✅ SEO-friendly embeds — shortcodes render clean, crawlable markup instead of files hidden behind a Dropbox login wall.
✅ Scales with PRO — add multiple Dropbox accounts, sync with the WordPress Media Library, and more when you need it.

📚 External Libraries & Third-Party Services

This plugin relies on the following third-party libraries and services:
– Dropbox PHP SDK — communicates with the Dropbox API to browse, upload, and manage files.
– lightGallery — renders responsive image, video, and document galleries and previews.
– Flaticon — provides interface icons.
– Google Docs Viewer (docs.google.com/viewerng/viewer) — embeds PDF previews.
– Microsoft Office Viewer (view.officeapps.live.com) — embeds Office document previews.

🔐 Data Privacy

Connecting Dropbox requires your own Dropbox App (see the FAQ below) — the plugin does not use a shared or default Dropbox App. When you complete the OAuth flow from Dropbox Connect Dropbox, your site talks directly to Dropbox’s own authorization servers, and Dropbox redirects back to your site once you approve access.

No ultraDevs server is involved in this exchange, and your files are never stored on or transferred through our infrastructure. All file operations happen directly and securely between your server and Dropbox’s API.

See the ultraDevs Privacy Policy for how we handle other data, such as license and support information.
