Connecting Dropbox to TRMNL takes just a few seconds and is done securely via our OAuth2 integration.
Step 1 - Visit the Dropbox Photo Album Plugin
Inside TRMNL, navigate to Plugins > Dropbox Photo Album.
Click "Connect with Dropbox Photo Album" on the right side of the screen.
Step 2 - Connect Dropbox
After being redirected to Dropbox, approve TRMNL's permission request. We do not have or request the ability to edit files, only to read files and share files.
Shared files are also limited to a specific folder inside Dropbox. Permitting TRMNL to access your Dropbox does not allow access to all folders.
Step 3 - Create a photo album
Inside your Dropbox account, find the folder called "Apps."
Open it up. Inside you should find a folder named "trmnl.com" with the note "App folder" beneath it. This means it was automatically created.
Put as many photos as you'd like inside this folder, or any dimension, but ideally matching your intended device use. If you set your TRMNL to portrait mode, upload portrait images, and so on.
Step 4 - You're Done!
Based on your chosen refresh settings, you'll begin seeing photos from Dropbox very soon.
Stay focused.
