Dropbox JSON schema

Connecting Amazon Q Business to Dropbox using APIs

You use the CreateDataSource action to connect a data source to your Amazon Q application.

Then, you use the configuration parameter to provide a JSON schema with all other configuration information specific to your data source connector.

For an example of the API request, see CreateDataSource in the Amazon Q API Reference.

The following table provides information about important JSON keys to configure.

Configuration Description
connectionConfiguration Configuration information for the endpoint for the data source.
repositoryEndpointMetadata The endpoint information for the data source. This data source doesn't specify an endpoint in repositoryEndpointMetadata. Rather, the connection information is included in an AWS Secrets Manager secret that you provide the secretArn.
repositoryConfigurations Configuration information for the content of the data source. For example, configuring specific types of content and field mappings.

  • file

  • paper

  • papert

  • shortcut

 A list of objects that map the attributes or field names of your Dropbox files, Dropbox Paper, and shortcuts to Amazon Q index field names.
enableIdentityCrawler Specify true to use the Amazon Q identity crawler to sync identity/principal information on users and groups with access to specific documents.
Note

Amazon Q Business crawls identity information from your data source by default to ensure responses are generated only from documents end users have access to. For more information, see Identity crawler.
secretARN The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an AWS Secrets Manager secret that contains the key-value pairs required to connect to your Dropbox. The secret must contain a JSON structure with the following keys: 
{
    "appKey": "Dropbox app key",
    "appSecret": "Dropbox app secret",
    "accesstoken": "temporary access token or refresh token"
}
additionalProperties Additional configuration options for your content in your data source.
maxFileSizeInMegaBytes Specify the maximum single file size limit in MBs that Amazon Q will crawl. Amazon Q will crawl only the files within the size limit you define. The default file size is 50MB. The maximum file size should be greater than 0MB and less than or equal to 50MB.
isCrawlAcl Specify true to crawl access control information from documents.
Note

Amazon Q Business crawls ACL information by default to ensure responses are generated only from documents your end users have access to. See Authorization for more details.
fieldForUserId Specify field to use for UserId for ACL crawling.
inclusionFileTypePatterns A list of regular expression patterns to include specific file types in your Dropbox data source. Files that match the patterns are included in the index. Files that don't match the patterns are excluded from the index. If a file matches both an inclusion and exclusion pattern, the exclusion pattern takes precedence and the file isn't included in the index.
exclusionFileTypePatterns A list of regular expression patterns to exclude specific file types in your Dropbox data source. Files that match the patterns are excluded from the index. Files that don't match the patterns are included in the index. If a file matches both an exclusion and inclusion pattern, the exclusion pattern takes precedence and the file isn't included in the index.
exclusionFileNamePatterns A list of regular expression patterns to exclude specific file names in your Dropbox data source. Files that match the patterns are excluded from the index. Files that don't match the patterns are included in the index. If a file matches both an exclusion and inclusion pattern, the exclusion pattern takes precedence and the file isn't included in the index.
exclusionFileNamePatterns A list of regular expression patterns to exclude specific file names in your Dropbox data source. Files that match the patterns are excluded from the index. Files that don't match the patterns are included in the index. If a file matches both an exclusion and inclusion pattern, the exclusion pattern takes precedence and the file isn't included in the index.

  • crawlFile

  • crawlPaper

  • crawlPapert

  • crawlShortcut

 true to index files in your Dropbox, Dropbox Paper documents, Dropbox Paper templates, and webpage shortcuts stored in your Dropbox.
type The type of data source. Specify DROPBOX as your data source type.
useChangeLog true to use the Dropbox change log to determine which documents require adding, updating, or deleting in the index. Depending on the change log's size, it may take longer for Amazon Q to use the change log than to scan all of your documents in your Dropbox.
tokenType Specify your access token type: permanent or temporary access token. We recommend that you create a refresh access token that never expires in Dropbox rather that relying on a one-time access token that expires after 4 hours. You create an app and a refresh access token in the Dropbox developer console, and provide the access token in your secret.
version The version of this template that's currently supported.
