Try Out Dropbox Business Endpoints in .NET

Dropbox has released a .NET sample app designed to demonstrate how developers can connect to Dropbox business teams and use activity endpoints to pull member statistics. The code is available in the SimpleBusinessDashboard example in the company's .NET GitHub repository.

This proof-of-concept dashboard visualizes team data exposed by Dropbox's API. Operating at the Team member file access permission level, it retrieves team information, daily active users, apps linked by members, shared folders with recent activity, and member rosters. The UI relies on Start Bootstrap templates.

About the Source Code

The dashboard ships with placeholder data. To view your own team's metrics, you'll need to perform two steps:

  1. Add your app key and secret to the Web.config file inside the SimpleBusinessDashboard project.
  2. Click the "Connect to Dropbox" button and authorize the app to link your team.

Dropbox Business API calls are concentrated in Controllers\HomeController.cs. The file contains methods for fetching team info, pulling activity data, and retrieving team member details. Further guidance is available in the .NET SDK documentation.
