Dropbox

Batch process all your records using unstructured-ingest to store structured outputs locally on your filesystem and upload those local files to a Dropbox bucket.

First you’ll need to install the Dropbox dependencies as shown here.

pip install "unstructured[dropbox]"

Run Locally

The upstream connector can be any of the ones supported, but for convenience here, showing a sample command using the upstream local connector.

NOTE: Keep in mind that you will need to have all the appropriate extras and dependencies for the file types of the documents contained in your data storage platform if you’re running this locally. You can find more information about this in the installation guide.
