Storage Integration

Dropbox

Upload screenshot images, PDFs, and video captures to your Dropbox after every job — organised into predictable folder structures using configurable path templates.

How it works

ScreenshotCenter connects to Dropbox via OAuth 2.0. Authorise once and all outputs flow automatically into your Dropbox — no API keys to generate or rotate.

1

Connect Dropbox in the dashboard

Go to Apps → Connect a new app → Dropbox and sign in with your Dropbox account. ScreenshotCenter requests access only to a single app folder so your other Dropbox files stay private.
2

Configure a path template

Set a path template to control how files are named and placed inside your Dropbox. Subfolders are created automatically.
3

Include the app ID in screenshot requests

Add your Dropbox app ID to the apps parameter. The shareable Dropbox link is returned in apps[].output_url.

Quick start

curl "https://api.screenshotcenter.com/api/v1/screenshot/create\
  ?key=YOUR_API_KEY\
  &url=https://example.com\
  &apps=my-dropbox-app"

import { ScreenshotCenterClient } from 'screenshotcenter';

const client = new ScreenshotCenterClient(process.env.SCREENSHOTCENTER_API_KEY);

const shot = await client.screenshot.create('https://example.com', {
  apps: ['my-dropbox-app'],
});

console.log(shot.apps[0].output_url); // Dropbox shared link

from screenshotcenter import ScreenshotCenterClient

client = ScreenshotCenterClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

shot = client.screenshot.create(
    "https://example.com",
    apps=["my-dropbox-app"],
)

print(shot["apps"][0]["output_url"])  # Dropbox shared link

use ScreenshotCenter\Client;

$client = new Client(getenv('SCREENSHOTCENTER_API_KEY'));

$shot = $client->screenshot->create('https://example.com', [
    'apps' => ['my-dropbox-app'],
]);

echo $shot['apps'][0]['output_url']; // Dropbox shared link

import (
    "fmt"
    sc "github.com/juliensobrier/screenshotcenter-go"
)

client := sc.New("YOUR_API_KEY")

shot, _ := client.Screenshot.Create("https://example.com", &sc.ScreenshotParams{
    Apps: []string{"my-dropbox-app"},
})

fmt.Println(shot.Apps[0].OutputURL) // Dropbox shared link

require "screenshotcenter"

client = ScreenshotCenter::Client.new(ENV["SCREENSHOTCENTER_API_KEY"])

shot = client.screenshot.create("https://example.com",
  apps: ["my-dropbox-app"],
)

puts shot["apps"][0]["output_url"] # Dropbox shared link

import io.screenshotcenter.ScreenshotCenterClient;
import io.screenshotcenter.models.*;
import java.util.List;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        var client = new ScreenshotCenterClient("YOUR_API_KEY");

        var shot = client.screenshot().create("https://example.com",
            new ScreenshotParams().apps(List.of("my-dropbox-app")));

        System.out.println(shot.getApps().get(0).getOutputUrl()); // Dropbox link
    }
}

using ScreenshotCenter;

var client = new ScreenshotCenterClient("YOUR_API_KEY");

var shot = await client.Screenshot.CreateAsync("https://example.com", new ScreenshotParams {
    Apps = new[] { "my-dropbox-app" },
});

Console.WriteLine(shot.Apps[0].OutputUrl); // Dropbox shared link

The Dropbox shared link is returned in apps[].output_url once the upload completes.

Path templates

Control file naming and folder structure inside your Dropbox:

screenshots/{domain}/{yyyy}-{mm}-{dd}/{id}.png

Available variables: {id}, {domain}, {yyyy}, {mm}, {dd}, {shot}, {browser}, {country}.

Why Dropbox?

Instant sharing

Every uploaded file gets a Dropbox shared link you can send to clients or stakeholders immediately.

Offline sync

Dropbox syncs files to all connected devices automatically — screenshots are available on your desktop the moment they're captured.

Scoped access

ScreenshotCenter only accesses its own app folder — your personal Dropbox files are never visible or accessible.

Get started

1. Create a free account on ScreenshotCenter.
2. Go to Apps → Connect a new app → Dropbox and authorise your Dropbox account.
3. Set an optional path template and save. Copy the app ID.
4. Add the app ID to the apps parameter in your screenshot requests.
