Known issues and limitations

  1. Because of restrictions in Dropbox REST API, currently we support only Personal and Shared folders. Team folders are not supported.
  2. The trigger does not fire if a file is added/updated in a subfolder. If it is required to trigger on subfolders, multiple triggers should be created.
  3. It is not possible to select a folder that is private to the group. Even if you are a member of that group.
  4. This connector is no longer a tabular connector and therefore cannot be used as a tabular data source - including for the Excel connector.
