QuantaStor's Cloud Containers feature enables one to setup a NAS Gateway to object storage like AWS and other S3 compatible cloud storage buckets. With QuantaStor v4.7 this is extended to include Dropbox folder/directories just as if they were S3 buckets. Because of the way Dropbox works there are a couple of steps required to enable access to your Dropbox account.

Overview Configuration Steps

  • Login to your Dropbox account: https://www.dropbox.com
  • Navigate to the Dropbox developers page: https://www.dropbox.com/developers
  • Create your app
  • Get your app key, app secret, and generated access token
  • Add provider credentials to the Dropbox provider within QuantaStor with your key, secret, and token
  • Create a new Cloud Container which will automatically add a new Dropbox folder -or- Add a Cloud Container using an existing Dropbox folder
