Dropbox
Dropbox is a cloud storage platform that lets you store and organize files. With Coupler.io, you can automatically export data from CSV and Excel files stored in Dropbox to Google Sheets, Excel, BigQuery, Looker Studio, or AI destinations like Claude and ChatGPT — on whatever schedule works for you.
Why connect Dropbox to Coupler.io?
Automate data syncing — Keep your spreadsheets in sync with Dropbox files without manual copying and pasting
No coding required — Set up a data flow in minutes using our visual interface
Flexible scheduling — Run imports on-demand or set them to refresh daily, weekly, or monthly
Combine multiple sheets — Pull data from multiple sheets in the same file or different files and append them into one destination
Integrate with your tools — Send data to Google Sheets, Excel, BigQuery, or use AI tools like ChatGPT for analysis
Prerequisites
A Dropbox account with access to the CSV or Excel files you want to import
A destination ready to receive the data (Google Sheets, Excel, BigQuery, Looker Studio, Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Gemini, Perplexity, or OpenClaw)
Quick start
Start with a single file and one or two sheets to test your setup. Once you confirm the data looks right, you can add more sheets or files to the same data flow.
How to connect
Sign in to your Coupler.io account and create a new data flow. Select Dropbox as your source.
Click "Connect to Dropbox" to authorize Coupler.io. You'll be asked to sign in to Dropbox and grant permission. If you have multiple Dropbox accounts, make sure you're signed in to the one containing your files — if needed, switch accounts in your browser before connecting.
Select the file you want to import using the file picker. This can be a CSV or Excel file stored anywhere in your Dropbox.
Choose the sheet(s) you want to pull data from. You can select multiple sheets — data from all of them will be appended into a single table in your destination. If you know a sheet name that doesn't exist yet but will be added later, you can type it in and Coupler.io will automatically fetch from it once it's created.
Set a range (optional) if you only want to import a specific section of the sheet, like A1:Z100. Leave this blank to import all data.
Choose your destination — Google Sheets, Excel, BigQuery, Looker Studio, or an AI tool like Claude or ChatGPT.
Map your columns and run a manual test to confirm the data looks correct before setting up any recurring schedule.
