Dropbox Node

​

What is a Dropbox node?

A Dropbox node is a knowledge base that you can use to store static documents (i.e., that don’t change). The files uploaded to the Knowledge Base node can be reused across multiple flows. All created knowledge bases are automatically synced to the Knowledge Base Dashboard.

​

Knowledge Base Editor

If you click the settings icon in the node, you can open the Knowledge Base Editor. This allows you to manage the knowledge base right in the workflow, without having to go to the Knowledge Base Dashboard.

​

Connect to your Dropbox account

When you first create a Dropbox node, you will see a button to connect your Dropbox account. Click to grant Stack AI access to your Dropbox.

​

Pick files to upload

After creating your connection, you will see a list of files in your Dropbox. You can select the files you want to upload to Stack AI by clicking the checkbox next to the file name. Be aware that the more files you select, the longer it will take to upload them.

​

File statuses

You will see a label for each document that you upload with the following meaning:

• Pending: the document is being processed and indexed.
• ✅: the document was successfully indexed.
• Error: the document could not be indexed (e.g., due to a formatting issue).
