Worth knowing
- The connection is a Dropbox app: its app key and app secret, and a refresh token from its OAuth flow (token_access_type=offline), so it keeps working without signing in again.
- Folder is under the connection's Start folder; only the folder's own files are read, not its subfolders.
- Hand on One row per file for PDFs or Word files, then a PDF or Word node.
