Which Dropbox files can Peithos see?

The files and folders on the connected Dropbox account, read only. Peithos requests only account info, file metadata, and file content read access. It never edits, deletes, or adds anything in Dropbox.

Does Peithos keep a permanent link to my files?

No. When an import runs, Peithos resolves a fresh temporary direct link to the original file. Those links are short-lived by design, so nothing keeps a standing link to your Dropbox content.

What happens to my data if I remove the app?

When you click Disconnect on the Dropbox card, we delete the stored token immediately and stop all further access. Videos you already imported stay in your Peithos workspace, because they are your content there; you can delete them from your library at any time.

Is my Dropbox content used to train AI models?

No. Content from connected services, including Dropbox, is never used to train any machine learning model, ours or a provider's. It is processed only to produce the transcripts and enrichment you asked for.

Dropbox: import originals from your folders

Dropbox is coming soon. See its current availability and the planned read-only import flow for original video files.

Peithos works with Dropbox: the connector pulls video files straight from your folders into Peithos, so footage stored in Dropbox becomes source-backed pages without a download-and-reupload dance. The connection is read only: Peithos browses your folders and copies only the files you choose.

What you need

A Dropbox account with your videos in folders, and an admin role in your Peithos workspace to connect it. Peithos requests read-only scopes: account info, file metadata, and file content.

Adding the app

Open Import in your workspace
Sign in to Peithos and open the Import view. The Dropbox card sits with the other video sources. You need an admin role in the workspace to connect accounts.
Click Connect
You are sent to Dropbox's own sign-in and consent screen. It lists exactly what Peithos asks for: read-only access to your account info, file metadata, and file content. Peithos never sees your Dropbox password.
In Peithos
1. Import
2. Connected libraries
3. Dropbox
Dropbox appears in Import under Connected libraries, where you browse folders and choose original files.
Approve and return
After you approve, Dropbox sends you back to Peithos and the card shows Connected. The refresh token is stored encrypted and used only on our servers.

Using the app

Once connected, the Dropbox card lets you browse your folders one level at a time to find your video files. Tick the videos you want and add them to the import queue. Before anything runs, Peithos shows what the run produces and how it draws from your current allowance. When the import runs, Peithos resolves a fresh temporary direct link to the original file, so processing starts from the real source, not a re-encode. Those links are short-lived by design.

Processing produces a transcript tied to exact timestamps, chapters, verbatim quotes, claims marked by how well they are sourced, and named speakers. Nothing publishes without your review and approval.

Troubleshooting

The connect button says denied. Connecting is limited to workspace admins. Ask a workspace admin to connect, or to make you an admin.
A folder shows empty.If the folder was moved or deleted in Dropbox, it comes back empty. Browse to the folder's new location, or restore it in Dropbox.
The connection shows needs attention. This means the token was revoked. Click Connect again to reauthorize; your imported videos are unaffected.

Removing the app

Open the Dropbox card in Peithos and click Disconnect. This deletes the stored token from our systems immediately and stops all further access. You can also remove Peithos from the connected apps list in your Dropbox account settings on the provider side.

After removal, Peithos can no longer see your Dropbox files. Videos you already imported remain in your Peithos library, because they are your workspace content; delete them there whenever you want, or ask us to. Reconnecting later starts a fresh authorization from the beginning.
