Below you find a step by step guide, if you prefer you can watch our How to Upload Files to Dropbox video tutorial.
To connect to Dropbox, make sure you have the following:
- A Dropbox account
- Your usual login details for Dropbox; a user ID (typically an email address) and password
Note: If FileZilla Pro is configured to save passwords protected by a master password (see Protect Passwords with a Master Password), you’ll only need to authenticate it for use with Dropbox once; it will save the access token for future connections.
Configuring FileZilla Pro
Please follow the next steps to configure FileZilla Pro to connect to Dropbox.
- In the menu bar, click on File › Site Manager…. See Using Site Manager for more details.
- Click on New Site.
- Select Dropbox from the Protocol drop down list.
- Click on Connect.
FileZilla Pro will send an authentication request to Dropbox in an internet browser window, and Dropbox will ask you to confirm that you want FileZilla Pro to access your files. - If you haven’t logged into Dropbox recently, or you’ve been logged out on the current machine, you’ll need to login before you can approve the FileZilla Pro request.
- Click Allow.
- Go back to FileZilla Pro.
- Check the server certificate details displayed – Organization should be Dropbox, Inc.
- Click on OK.
Your Dropbox directories and files will be displayed in the Remote directories section of the main window.
You can now transfer files between your local machine and your Dropbox.
Dropbox is just the start
FileZilla Pro connects to all major cloud storage providers from a single interface — no extra software, no credential juggling. Transfer files between your local machine and the cloud exactly as you would over FTP.
