External assistants

These open a third-party AI service outside the EU. The link passes it this page's address, and anything you ask there is processed by that provider under its own terms.

Imports the documents, presentations and spreadsheets in your Dropbox folders.

What it imports

Nordvec imports these from Dropbox: files.

Nordvec checks Dropbox for changes on a schedule, and a document deleted in Dropbox is removed at the next check.

Filtering searches by Dropbox

Documents synced from Dropbox carry these source_provider values. Pass one to /documents/search to restrict results to this connector:

  • dropbox
curl https://nordvec.com/api/v1/documents/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NORDVEC_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "quarterly report", "sourceProvider": "dropbox"}'

Connecting Dropbox

Connect Dropbox from Connectors in Nordvec. The connector reads with the account of the person who connects it. Documents from Dropbox are private to the person who connected it until that person shares them. An API key reads only what is shared with the workspace, so it finds these documents once their owner shares them. Documents are stored in the EU; every processor that touches them is published with its jurisdiction and transfer basis at /subprocessors.

Dropbox is treated as a privacy-sensitive personal source. Query text against it is never collected for product analytics, protecting sensitive personal content.
