Hi Team,
I'm performing a copy activity using a Dropbox's file as the source.I am using logicapp to fetch file from dropbox.
Although I tried with the HTTP data connector isn't functioning properly.Currently i am able to connect to dropbox using logicapp.
But I'm not sure how to proceed further because I want to transfer that file to blob storage using copy activity.
Could you kindly help me with images and instructions. or is there any other approach to read multiple file(s) from Dropbox and process them in ADF.
Thanks in advance!

Sadly, at this time Data Factory does not have a Dropbox connector. Could you please elaborate more on how the HTTP connector was not functioning properly? Perhaps I might help with that.
If you prefer to keep on with Logic App, I am sure Logic App can connect to blob storage. I can help you with that.
As for other approaches in ADF, there is the Custom activity, where you write your own code.
Please let me know which routes you would like to take.
