In Short
Dropbox Odoo Integration is an Odoo 19 Document Management app. The tool to automatically synchronize Odoo attachments with DropBox files in both ways.
Dropbox Odoo Integration connects Cloud Storage Solutions with Dropbox. It synchronizes Odoo folders and attachments with Dropbox in both directions, stores synced files as Dropbox-backed URL attachments in Odoo, and keeps users working from the Odoo File Manager and attachment box.
Perfect for
Dropbox-first teams
Use Dropbox as the file storage layer while Odoo keeps folders connected to customers, projects, orders, and tasks.
Automated Dropbox sync
Let scheduled jobs push Odoo documents to Dropbox and reflect Dropbox-side changes back in Odoo.
Dropbox link workflows
Choose whether synced Dropbox items are opened through internal Dropbox access or shared links where appropriate.

Why teams choose it
Key benefits before you dive into the details
Dropbox as storage
Store synced Odoo document binaries in Dropbox while users keep working from Odoo records.
Automatic folders
Create Dropbox folder trees from Odoo folder rules, manual folders, and record attachment boxes.
Bilateral sync
Push Odoo files to Dropbox and retrieve Dropbox-side additions, changes, and deletions back into Odoo.
Odoo File Manager
Browse, upload, download, move, search, and tag Dropbox-synced attachments from Odoo.
Internal or shared links
Choose whether Dropbox items use internal links or generated shared links when external access is required.
Logs and recovery
Use Cloud Storage logs to monitor Dropbox jobs, retry failures, and reset or reverse a connection.
How Dropbox Synchronization Works
Scheduled direct, backward, and reverse sync keeps Odoo and Dropbox folders aligned.
Odoo to Dropbox
- Direct sync creates Dropbox folders and uploads attachments from synced Odoo folders.
- Synced binaries become Dropbox-backed URL attachments in Odoo.
- Scheduled jobs prepare and process the sync queue without manual file pushing.
Dropbox to Odoo
- Backward sync creates Odoo URL attachments and subfolders for new Dropbox items.
- Dropbox-side moves, updates, and deletions are reflected in linked Odoo folders where possible.
- Reverse sync brings files back to Odoo when a Dropbox connection is reset or changed.
Dropbox URLs
Choose internal Dropbox links or shared URLs based on your access model.
Internal Dropbox access
- Use internal Dropbox links when recipients should authenticate in Dropbox to access synced items.
- This keeps access controlled by Dropbox account permissions and team policies.
- Odoo still provides record context, folder navigation, and attachment search.
Optional shared links
- Enable shared links when external access without Dropbox authorization is required.
- Use shared links thoughtfully because they expand access beyond the internal Dropbox permission model.
- Shared-link generation may add extra work to synchronization, so apply it where it creates real value.

Configuration and Installation Tips for Dropbox Odoo Integration Odoo v.19
Python dependency
The tool depends on the external library 'dropbox'. Install this library for your Odoo server through the command:
pip3 install dropboxConfiguration and log in
- Turn on the option 'Dropbox Sync' (cloud Storage > Configuration > Configuration). The optional add-on Dropbox Odoo Integration is required
- Follow the URL https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps/create
- Choose an API as 'Scoped access'
- Choose the type of access as 'Full Dropbox'
- Select any suitable name for the app and push the button 'Create app'
- Add the redirect URI as [YOURODOOSITENAME]/dropbox_token (e.g. https://faotools.com/dropbox_token). A valid SSL certificate (https) is required
- Grant permissions to the app: 'Account Info (Read)', 'Files and folders Metadata (Write)', 'Files Content (Write)', 'Collaboration (Write)'. For team DropBox assign also 'Team Data Members', 'Members (Read)'. Make sure no other permissions are assigned.
- Submit App
- Go to Odoo Cloud Storage > Configuration > Cloud Clients press 'Create'
- As a reference, introduce any name which would be clear to all users
- As a Cloud client, choose 'Dropbox'
- As a Root folder name, enter a title that will be used as the parent Dropbox directory for all synced folders. For example, 'Odoo' or 'OdooERP'
- Copy 'App key' to the 'App key'
- Copy 'App Secret' into the field 'App secret'
- Insert previously generated redirect URL
- If you use Dropbox team drives
- Check the related box
- Set an Dropbox user email. Inside this user folder, all Odoo-related items will be created, and only after that, they will be shared with all other users. Under this user, all files and folders are created, changed, moved, and deleted
- Press 'Confirm'. Odoo redirects you to the Dropbox login page. Check in the system, agree with all conditions, and grant all permissions asked
- After login, Dropbox redirects you back to Odoo. Dropbox - Odoo synchronization is ready to be done
- Apply the newly created cloud client to folder rules and/or manual folders which should be synced to that Dropbox instance
- Await the sync scheduled job to be started. For testing purposes only: trigger integration manually from Cloud Storage > Configuration > Configuration > the button 'Launch sync'.
