Dropbox Backup Integration

ERPNext allows you to automatically back up your site database and files to Dropbox, helping you maintain secure off-site copies of your data. Database backups are stored as SQL files and can be restored to another ERPNext instance when required.

Note: If you use Frappe Cloud, both onsite and offsite backups are created automatically, so additional Dropbox backup configuration is generally unnecessary.

1. Access Dropbox Settings

Navigate to Home → Integrations → Dropbox Settings to configure automated Dropbox backups.

2. Create a Dropbox App

  1. Sign in to the Dropbox Developer Console.
  2. Create a new Dropbox application.
  3. Select Dropbox API as the API type.
  4. Choose App Folder as the access type.
  5. Provide a unique name for your application.

3. Configure the Redirect URI

Add the following redirect URI to your Dropbox application configuration:

https://{yourwebsite.com}/api/method/frappe.integrations.doctype.dropbox_settings.dropbox_settings.dropbox_auth_finish

4. Configure Dropbox Settings in ERPNext

  1. Open Dropbox Settings in ERPNext.
  2. Select the desired backup frequency.
  3. Enter the email address for backup notifications if required.
  4. Copy the App Key and App Secret from your Dropbox application
