Dropbox Semantic Search for Claude

🧠

Semantic Search

Find documents by meaning, not just keywords. "Find my project proposals from last year" just works.

🔒

Secure & Private

Your files stay in Dropbox. We only index text for search. Multi-tenant isolation guarantees data privacy.

⚡

Real-time Sync

Changes sync automatically every 5 minutes. New files are searchable within minutes of being added.

🛡️

Enterprise-Grade Security

OAuth 2.0 authentication, 90-day token expiration, instant revocation, and encrypted data in transit

How It Works

Connect Dropbox

Click the button above to authorize read-only access to your Dropbox files via OAuth 2.0.

Get Your Token
