The Dropbox plugin for Uppy lets users import files from their Dropbox account.
A Companion instance is required for the Dropbox plugin to work. Companion handles authentication with Dropbox, downloads files from Dropbox and uploads them to the destination. This saves the user bandwidth, especially helpful if they are on a mobile connection.
Uppy is being developed by the folks at Transloadit, a versatile file encoding service.
import Uppy from '@uppy/core'
import Dropbox from '@uppy/dropbox'
const uppy = new Uppy()
uppy.use(Dropbox, {
// Options
})$ npm install @uppy/dropboxAlternatively, you can also use this plugin in a pre-built bundle from
Transloadit’s CDN: Smart CDN. In that case Uppy will attach itself to the
global window.Uppy object. See the
main Uppy documentation for instructions.
Documentation for this plugin can be found on the Uppy website.
