# Dropbox Destination
This page describes the Dropbox storage destination
Duplicati supports using [Dropbox](https://www.dropbox.com) as a storage destination. Note that Duplicati stores compressed and encrypted volumes on Dropbox and does not store files so they are individually accessible from Dropbox.
## User interface
To configure the Dropbox destination you need to pick a unique folder name for the backups, and then authorize Duplicati to work on your behalf. Simply click the "AuthID" link in the text field and the authentication process will start and fill out the "AuthID" when you are done.
## URL format from Commandline
To use Dropbox, use the following URL format:
```
dropbox:///?authid=
```
To use Dropbox you must first obtain an `AuthID` by using a Duplicati service to log in to Dropbox and approve the access. See the [page on the OAuth Server](/duplicati-programs/oauth-server.md) for different ways to obtain an AuthID.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.duplicati.com/backup-destinations/file-synchronization-providers/dropbox-destination.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
