Features
The Dropbox for Business connector features are:
-
Content indexing
-
Extraction and indexing of the following Dropbox for Business item types:
-
Folders
-
Files
-
Accounts
-
-
The connector mostly supports the Dropbox for Business security model using a security provider to get almost all permissions for each indexed item. This means that, in Coveo search interfaces, a user searching Dropbox for Business content only sees the content to which he has access except items that he can see using shared links.
Note: For the moment, the Dropbox for Business APIs do not return information on shared links.
-
Incremental refresh
-
Supports incremental refresh to periodically query Dropbox for the latest edits, keeping the index content up-to-date.
-
Multithreading
-
The connector can run multiple threads, which can improve performances considerably (see Modifying Hidden Dropbox for Business Source Parameters).
-
Pause/Resume
-
When indexing Dropbox for Business content, the connector can be paused and resumed.
