How to set up the Dropbox Dash Connector for Miro
Updated Mar 19, 2025
The information in this article applies to all Dropbox Dash users.
You can connect your Miro account to Dropbox Dash so you can access and search your Miro content directly within Dash. This requires OAuth authentication to ensure Dash only retrieves information relevant to your data, giving you full control over what Dash can access. Dash strictly follows the OAuth model, meaning it only accesses the data you specifically permit.
Notes:
- Team members can connect to Dropbox Dash only after their Dash admin approves and enables the integration. After approval, they must grant Dash permission to access their account.
- You must have an active Miro account to connect with Dash.
Integration features
For Miro, Dash captures the following details:
- Boards: Boards are online whiteboards you can use to visualize your ideas and work on projects either individually or with a team. Dash gathers information such as the board title, board contents, and timestamp, so it can search these items.
- User information: Dash gathers the name to enhance search capabilities.
API usage
When connecting Miro with Dropbox Dash, Dash requests the following authorizations:
- Read boards you have access to: This enables Dash to search through your Miro boards.
- Read current team information: This enables Dash to collect user metadata to power Dash experience on people data.
How content syncing works
- Content sync begins immediately after establishing a connection to ensure you can start searching right away, prioritizing the most relevant data.
- The Activity feed shows content a user has engaged with through actions such as previewing, uploading, creating, commenting, opening, modifying, sharing, and receiving content.
- Incremental sync occurs every 15 minutes.
