Dropbox Sunsetting

Dropbox File Storage Sunsetting

Announced: September 23, 2025

Sunset Date for Existing Setups: December 31, 2026

What's Changing

• New Apps: Dropbox is no longer available as a file storage option for new apps or new field configurations
• Existing Setups: Current Dropbox integrations will continue functioning until December 31, 2026
• Transition Period: Over 15 months to migrate to alternative storage options

Why This Change?

Tadabase identified security and reliability concerns with the Dropbox integration that could not be adequately addressed. To ensure platform security and reliability, the decision was made to sunset this option.

Recommended Alternatives

• Included with all plans

Custom S3 Bucket Integration

For organizations needing full control:

• Use your own AWS S3 bucket
• Complete control over storage
• Custom security policies
• Direct access to files
• Unlimited storage (based on your AWS plan)

Migration Timeline

• September 23, 2025: Dropbox unavailable for new implementations
• September 2025 - December 2026: Transition period for existing setups
• December 31, 2026: All Dropbox integrations cease functioning
