Dropbox Odoo Integration v.16
The tool to automatically synchronize Odoo attachments with DropBox files in both ways
This is the tool to integrate Dropbox features with Odoo folders and files. The app automatically stores Odoo attachments and directories in Dropbox and provides instant access to them via web links.
Automatic folders' structure
Decide which Odoo document types should have their own folders trees and synchronize those to Dropbox
Automatic regular sync
Rely on auto-synchronization between Odoo and Dropbox based on scheduled jobs. No manual interaction is required
Bilateral sync
Odoo sends attachments to Dropbox and retrieves files from there. Binary content is kept in clouds, while Odoo provides direct access to synced items
Cloud synchronization history
Control Dropbox sync logs right in Odoo. Export and share those in case of any issues. Be notified of any client disconnections
File manager interface
Manage synced folders and attachments from a single Odoo view. Comfortably navigate by directories. Search and download files one by one or in batch. Upload and move attachments to folders
Attachment box
Organize files of any Odoo object in a set of subfolders. Instantly access folders and files in the attachment box and in Dropbox.
How synchronization works
Automatic two-sided sync
-
Configure sync for one or multiple Dropbox instances
-
Integration is based on scheduled jobs and is fully automatized. The app regularly checks changes in systems and runs sync operations
-
Synchronization is bilateral. Updates in Odoo are reflected in Dropbox (direct sync); changes in Dropbox modify Odoo folders and attachments (backward sync)
-
Cloud connection with Dropbox might be reset. In this way, the app assumes getting back all items back to Odoo (reverse sync)
-
Odoo folders and attachments might be re-attached to a new cloud client from Dropbox. Hence, items will be first taken back to Odoo (reverse sync) and then put will be put into the new cloud storage (direct sync)
Queue-based synchronization
-
Once in 15 minutes, the app examines updates in Odoo and Dropbox to prepare a synchronization queue
-
Folders' checks follow the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) principle. So, directories that have not been examined for the longest will be processed first
-
Once in 15 minutes, the sync queue is run by the special scheduled job. Firstly, the most important (blocking) tasks would be done
-
Control planned jobs and their fulfillment in the special Odoo logs interface (Cloud Storage > Configuration > Sync Logs). Subscribe for particular cloud clients notifications
-
If the app faces sync failures, it will re-try operations afterward. Sync queue processing would not be stopped if there are items not blocked by such failures
Odoo attachments for Dropbox: direct sync
-
Direct sync prepares the folders' hierarchy and uploads Odoo attachments for Dropbox
-
Direct sync checks whether attachments are added or deleted for synced directories. If so, they would be created or removed in Dropbox. In particular, it means that any file added to a folder-related Odoo object (e.g. Quotation), would be automatically moved to a linked cloud client
-
Direct sync makes all synced Odoo attachments change their type to a link (URL), while binary content is removed with one of the next Odoo cleaners. So, no actual files would be stored on your Odoo server
-
Direct sync checks whether a new folder is added. Disregarding whether it is done manually or automatically, the app would generate a peer directory in Dropbox
-
Direct sync checks whether there are any updates in folders. If so, such changes are reflected in Dropbox
Dropbox files and folders for Odoo: backward sync
-
Backward sync checks whether any files or subfolders are added to Dropbox folders. If so, the app would create URL attachments/subdirectories inside linked Odoo directories (and hence Odoo objects if any)
-
Backward sync checks whether there are any updates in folders or attachments. Such updates would be then reflected in Odoo
-
Backward sync checks whether any files are deleted/moved in a Dropbox document folder. If so, a linked Odoo attachment would be also unlinked or moved
-
If you deleted a Dropbox folder related to a folder rule / Odoo object, their child files would be deleted as well. Thus, Odoo would remove related attachments. The folders, however, will be recovered with a direct sync
-
In case of conflicts, direct sync changes are in general considered more important than backward updates.
Resetting or changing Dropbox: reverse sync
-
In case you decided to reset the connection with Dropbox, files would be moved back to Odoo
-
In case you decided to change the cloud client of a folder rule or a folder, files would be first taken back to Odoo, and then direct sync for a new client would be done
-
Reverse sync operations are prioritized to direct and backward sync operations
-
Not all items can be correctly reversed to Odoo due to cloud client peculiarities. For example, there are documents that may exist only in cloud storage environments. The app would try to convert such documents, but in some cases, it would require manual interactions.
Dropbox URLs
Dropbox has a specific way to generate links for existing files and folders. In particular, there are no concepts of internal or private URLs. Instead, each Dropbox item might get so-called shared URLs. Such shared links are either public or team-only. Moreover, the latter feature is available only for the Dropbox business account.
This tool relies upon shared links' mechanics. It means, that each attachment link is either public (all personal Dropbox accounts) or team-only (all business Dropbox accounts).
Sometimes it is considered to be not fully safe. Although website URLs will be hardly known by external users, there is a slight chance that they become available as a result of some user actions. Besides, sharing link generation is not super fast and might make the sync process slower. That is why the feature to switch off sharing URLs is introduced.
If checked, all Dropbox URLs in Odoo will be of the type https://www.dropbox.com/home/Odoo/[PATH]. Such links will not work in many cases. Thus, if you need to open Dropbox files/folders from Odoo, be careful with the setting 'No links to Dropbox from Odoo'.
Konfigurations- og installationstips til Dropbox Odoo Integration Odoo v.16
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'.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål om Dropbox Odoo Integration Odoo v.16
Hvor gemmes synkroniserede filer? Duplikeres de i Odoo og i clouds?
Appen antager, at den binære indhold af vedhæftninger gemmes i Cloud Client i stedet for på Odoo-serveren. Sådanne vedhæftninger i Odoo bliver af typen URL, og du kan når som helst åbne dem fra vedhæftningsfeltet eller fra Cloud Client.
Efter opsætningen kræves ingen manuelle handlinger: synkroniseringen er fuldt automatisk. Beslut, hvilke Odoo-dokumenttyper der skal synkroniseres, og opret en relateret model for hver (kunder, salgs- eller indkøbsordrer, opgaver, projekter osv.).
Kan jeg have flere mapper til samme dokumenttype? For eksempel interne projekter og kundeprojekter?
Ja, det kan du. Opret en regel til hver og anvend filtre: for eksempel efter projekttype.
Gør filtrene indbyrdes udelukkende, så et dokument kan tildeles entydigt. For eksempel: «kunde men ikke leverandør», «leverandør men ikke kunde». Ellers hopper dokumentmappen fra én model til en anden.
Er det okay, hvis jeg har mange objekter at synkronisere, for eksempel 10000?
Ja, selvom processen kan være langsom med mange mapper/vedhæftninger. Kunder har dog rapporteret miljøer med >10k partnere og ~5k produktvarianter, og processerne var acceptable.
Nogle punkter:
- Synken er bygget, så ethvert element synkroniseres og ikke går tabt, selv om det ikke er hurtigt. FIFO-køer og commit af hvert job garanterer det.
- Antallet af objekter kan begrænses logisk. Modelkonfigurationen lader dig udelukke forældede poster (f.eks. arkiverede partnere eller ordrer fra for 2 år siden).
Er det muligt at gøre synkroniseringen realtids?
Nej. Vi har stærke grunde til at undgå realtidssynk:
Ydeevne. Ved realtidssynk giver hver filupload en indlæsningsskærm.
Konflikter. Hvis 2 brugere ændrer et element samtidig, kan det blive uløseligt. Med almindelige job kan vi rette bagefter; i realtid skulle der bruges en kø, endnu mere vildledende.
Funktionalitet. Især omdøbning og omstrukturering. Den baglæns synk bygger strengt på kataloglogikken og tjekker 100 % af elementerne ved hver synk. Efter hver opdatering ville det være tusindvis af anmodninger i sekundet. Ellers ville ændringer gå tabt.
Kan jeg ændre mappernes standardnavne i clouds?
Du kan give modelmapperne (salgsordrer, muligheder, leverandører osv.) dit eget navn for enhver dokumenttype.
For objektmapper (SO-001, John Smith osv.) bruger værktøjet Odoos metode til visningsnavn. Du kan ændre det med et navneudtryk. Syntaksen er den samme som i Odoo e-mailskabeloner.
Kan jeg ændre hyppigheden af synkroniseringsjob?
Nej, fra version 15 bør du ikke ændre planlagte job. De er optimeret til at køre hvert 15. minut for den mest stabile og hurtige forbindelse.
Odoo-serverens timeouts skal være mindst 15 minutter (900 sekunder).
Hvis du skal stoppe synken et stykke tid, så gør det på formularen for den pågældende cloud-klient.
Kan jeg synkronisere vedhæftninger til flere cloud-klienter
Yes, starting from version 15, you can set up multiple connections. In this way, it is possible to sync some folders to one cloud client and others - to another.
Take into account that it is not any way possible to sync the same folder for a few cloud storages simultaneously.
Vi bruger en særlig editor i vores clouds (f.eks. OnlyOffice, Office 365). Ville filer åbnes i den editor?
Ja, afhængigt af din cloud-klients konfiguration.
Behøver jeg kun appen Cloud Storage Solution?
Fra version 15 kan appen bruges alene til at strukturere vedhæftninger i mapper og give en filhåndteringsgrænseflade.
Hvis målet er forbindelse til én af cloud-klienterne, skal mindst én valgfri klientapp installeres.
Hvad sker der, når jeg ændrer en mappe-regel?
Når en mappe-regel ændres, ændres mappelisten også. Matcher en mappe ikke længere betingelserne, fjernes den. Er filerne synkroniseret, returnerer den baglæns synk dem til Odoo og sletter dem fra Cloud Client.
Matcher dokumentets objekt ikke en mappe-regel, oprettes mappen ikke. Matcher det senere, genereres den relaterede mappe.
Hvad er opdateringspolitikken for jeres vaerktojer?
Ifolge de gaeldende regler for Odoo Apps Store:
- Hvert modul kobt til version 12.0 eller tidligere giver adgang til alle versioner op til 12.0.
- Fra version 13.0 skal hver modulversion kobes separat.
- Uanset version giver kobet ret til alle opdateringer og fejlrettelser inden for en hovedversion.
faOtools-teamet styrer ikke disse regler. Ved sporgsmaal, kontakt Odoo Apps Store-representanterne direkte.
Hvordan installerer jeg jeres app pa Odoo.sh?
Den mest direkte tilgang er Odoo-butikkens indbyggede arbejdsgang:
1. Abn modulets side, og klik pa Deploy on odoo.sh
2. Du bliver omdirigeret til GitHub. Log ind, og klik pa Create a new repo, eller brug et eksisterende. Repot skal vaere privat. Apps under OPL-1 ma ikke offentliggores. Opret om nodvendigt et nyt repo til Odoo.sh-projektet
3. Ga derefter til odoo.sh, klik pa Deploy, bekraeft, og klik pa Continue. Installationen starter.
Disse trin installerer appen pa production-grenen. Til andre grene eller opdatering:
1. Download kildekoden fra Odoo-butikken
2. Commit modulet til GitHub-repot. Ingen app-mapper/filer ma sta i .gitignore. Repoer oprettet af odoo.sh kan ignorere vigtige stier (f.eks. /lib). Upload alle modulmapper og -filer
3. Deploy malgrenen i odoo.sh-projektet, eller vent pa det automatiske build, hvis indstillingerne angiver det.
Hvordan installerer jeg jeres app pa min egen server?
2. Genstart Odoo-serveren;
3. Sla udviklertilstand til (tekniske indstillinger);
4. Opdater applisten (Apps-menuen);
5. Find appen, og klik pa Activate/Install;
6. Folg retningslinjerne pa appsiden, hvis de findes.
Jeres app har ekstra tilfojelser. Kan jeg kobe dem senere?
Ja. Odoo laegger automatisk alle afhaengigheder i indkobskurven: udelad allerede kobte vaerktojer, sa du ikke betaler to gange.
Jeg deployede jeres app pa Odoo.sh og ser advarsel/fejl i testene
En rod/orange advarsel pavirker ikke appens funktioner. Nogle gange bestar vores moduler ikke de standard automatiske tests, fordi de forventer en adfaerd, der er i konflikt med appens mal. Vi aendrer f.eks. prisberegningen, mens Odoo-testene sammenligner slutprisen med standardalgoritmen.
Tjek forst funktionerne i den deployede database. Virker alt?
Hvis du stadig mener, at advarslen pavirker reelle funktioner, kontakt os, og send de fulde installationslogfiler og den fulde liste over deployede moduler (kerne og tredjepart).
Kan jeg kobe jeres app direkte hos jer?
Nej, vi distribuerer kun vaerktojerne via den officielle Odoo-appbutik.
Jeg vil gerne have rabat
Desvaerre har vi ikke tekniske midler til individuelle priser.
Kan jeg installere appen pa min Odoo Online (SaaS)-database?
Nej, tredjepartsapps kan ikke bruges pa Odoo Online. Odoo SaaS blokerer den mulighed.
Jeres vaerktoj afhaenger af andre apps. Skal jeg kobe dem?
Ja, vaerktojet kraver alle moduler markeret som afhaengigheder. Prisen pa appsiden inkluderer allerede disse afhaengigheder.
Hvad koster modulet i amerikanske dollar? Hvorfor aendrede den sig?
Prisen pa vores moduler er sat i euro. Odoo-butikken omregner til andre valutaer efter den interne valutakurs. Derfor kan prisen i amerikanske dollar aendre sig, nar kursen opdateres.
App- og webstedstekster på andre sprog end engelsk er AI-assisterede og afstemt med officielle Odoo-oversættelser. Hvis du opdager en fejl, send en sag om oversættelseskorrekthed så retter vi det.
