# Dropbox

> Start a workflow automatically when a new video is added to a monitored Dropbox folder.

The **New Dropbox Video** trigger is for workflows that should watch a Dropbox folder and send new videos into the rest of your workflow. Use it when a shared folder is where new source videos arrive. Dropbox account verification is required before Overlap can monitor folders.

<Info>
  ### Schema

  * **Input**: The Dropbox folder to monitor
  * **Output**: The new Dropbox video that starts the workflow
</Info>

## Add the node

Open **Workflows** from the left sidebar and click **New** to open the workflow builder.

In the **Trigger** stage, choose **New Dropbox Video**. Overlap adds the trigger node to the canvas, selects it, and moves the left panel forward to **Editing** so you can continue building the workflow.

Click the **New Dropbox Video** node on the canvas whenever you need to reopen its settings on the right side.

## Choose the Dropbox folder

In the right-side settings panel, use **Dropbox Folder** to choose the folder this trigger should monitor for new videos.

If Dropbox is already connected, the panel shows **Dropbox connected. You can choose a folder below.** Click **Select Folder** and choose the folder that should start the workflow when new videos are added.

Until a folder is selected, the node shows **Incomplete** and displays **Folder required • Set in right panel** on the canvas.

If the panel asks you to connect or verify Dropbox, complete that step first, then return to **Select Folder**.

## Build the rest of the workflow

After the trigger is configured, continue in **Editing** with nodes such as [Find Clips](/nodes/findclips), [Add Subtitles](/nodes/subtitles), or [Reframe](/nodes/reframe). Finish with an export node, then click **Publish** when the workflow is ready to listen for new Dropbox videos.
