Key Features

Connect Odoo to Dropbox — per-record folders, one-click attachment push, shareable links, and optional storage offload

OAuth connections

Connect one or more Dropbox accounts via OAuth with offline refresh tokens — App Folder or Full Dropbox scope, per company.

Per-record folders

Every business record gets a tidy folder — Root / Model / Record — so attachments land exactly where they belong.

One-click push

Push attachments to Dropbox from the form, the list action, the chatter or a wizard — one click, without leaving the record.

Offload & fetch back

Optionally convert a pushed attachment to a Dropbox link and free the binary from Odoo — then fetch it back whenever you need it.

Shared links

Create public, team or password-protected share links with an optional expiry — and revoke any of them in one click.

Auto-push rules

Define per-model domains and let a scheduled cron push matching attachments to Dropbox automatically — no manual steps.

Folder browser

Browse, navigate and search your Dropbox folders straight from Odoo, and open any synced file or its root folder in one click.

Conflict detection

Lightweight rev / content_hash checks flag when a Dropbox file changed — resolve with Force Upload or Fetch Back.

Secure & logged

Secrets and tokens stay Manager-only, the OAuth state is validated on callback, and the activity log never stores secrets.

User guide

Create a Dropbox app, connect it to Odoo over OAuth, and start pushing attachments into tidy per-record folders — with optional offload, auto-push and sharing.

1. Create a Dropbox app

  1. In the Dropbox App Console, create an app (App Folder or Full Dropbox) and copy the App key and App secret.
  2. Under Permissions, enable the file metadata/content and sharing scopes.
  3. Under OAuth 2, add the redirect URI /dropbox/oauth/callback shown on the Odoo connection.

2. Connect in Odoo

  1. Open Dropbox → Configuration → Connections and create a connection.
  2. Enter the App Key/Secret, choose the matching permission type, then click Connect and grant consent.
  3. Use Test Connection anytime; Disconnect revokes the token.

3. Push & manage

  • On any record, attach a file and click Upload to Dropbox — it lands under Root / Model / Record.
  • Enable Offload binaries and Auto-Push Rules for hands-off syncing; Share to create links.
  • Track everything under Synced Files — open a file, Fetch Back a binary, or resolve a conflict.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need Odoo Enterprise?
No. It depends only on core base, mail and web (plus the dropbox Python library) and runs on Odoo Community. The optional Documents bridge activates only if Enterprise Documents is installed.
2. How are files organized in Dropbox?
Each record gets its own folder in a Root / Model / Record layout, so every document for an order, contact or project stays together and easy to find.
3. Can it free up Odoo storage?
Yes. Enable Offload binaries and a pushed attachment becomes a Dropbox link while the binary is removed from Odoo — and you can Fetch Back the file anytime.
4. Is synchronization two-way?
No — it is one-way Odoo → Dropbox (plus on-demand download / fetch back). Lightweight rev/content_hash checks flag when a Dropbox file changed so you can resolve it.
5. Can I automate the uploads?
Yes. Define Auto-Push Rules with per-model domains and a scheduled cron pushes matching attachments to Dropbox automatically — no manual clicks.
6. How are shared links controlled?
Create public, team or password-protected links with an optional expiry, and revoke any link in one click. Some visibility modes may be limited by your Dropbox team policy.
7. Is it secure?
The App secret and tokens are restricted to the Dropbox Manager group, the OAuth state is validated on callback, and activity logs never store tokens or secrets.
