Parameters​

Connection source​

This parameter indicates how the connection should be specified. It gives you two options: repository and predefined. The parameter is not visible if the connection input port is connected.

Connection entry​

This parameter is only available when the connection source parameter is set to repository. This parameter is used to specify a repository location that represents a connection entry. The connection can also be provided using the connection input port.

Connection​

This parameter is only available when the connection source parameter is set to predefined. The connection details for the Dropbox connection can be specified. If you have already configured a Dropbox connection, you can select it from the drop-down list. If you have not configured a Dropbox connection yet, select the Dropbox icon to the right of the drop-down list. Create a new Dropbox connection in the Manage connections box. An access token is required. If you don't have a valid access token, you must authenticate RapidMiner via OAuth and copy the generated token to the acess token field. Test the connection and click the Save all changes button.

File​

Select the Dropbox file to write using the file chooser.

Overwrite​

If the checkbox is activated, the input file will overwrite existing files with the same file name. If the checkbox is not activated, existing files with the same name are not overwritten. The file name will be enhanced by a counter. By default the option is deactivated. Note that uploading a file that has no changes in comparison to the destination will neither update the time stamp nor create a new file with a counter.
