Today, I am going to share how I managed to use Dropbox as a cloud static file server for my WordPress Blog:ġ) Create a directory called cdn and make sure you place it in your public Dropbox folder.Ģ) Upload directories “wp-content” and “wp-includes” into this cdn folder. If you do not have a public directory on Dropbox then you can have it enabled.

You should have a public directory in Dropbox and that is where we will be storing all the static files of your website. This can decrease the load on your website and possibly improve the speed and performance of your site. You can use Dropbox to host your static files publicly and then serve those files from your website. One of those uses which I found really helpful was the ability to use Dropbox as a CDN (Content Delivery Network) for your website.

If you are not a member of Dropbox, then you should join it immediately.ĭropbox can also be used for different purposes. It is really simple and Dropbox has an app for every platform. You can store your files on the cloud and you can access it from anywhere like your phone, desktop, laptop at different places.

Now when you open the Filemanager Plugin you will see the root folder for your Dropbox App. Screenshot-8: Now Dropbox Addon has been successfully Integrated with the Filemanager Plugin. Screenshot-7: Now Fill the App Key, App Secret and Access Token in the fields in the plugin and click “Save Changes”. For the Dropbox Access Token, Scroll to the ‘OAuth 2’ section and click on ‘Generate’ button. Screenshot-6: Now your Dropbox App is created and you can copy the Dropbox App key and Dropbox App secret directly from there.

Screenshot-5: Login to your Dropbox account and go to your Dropbox Apps Page and create an App by clicking Create App button.
