Sync Google Drive and Dropbox

Sync files bidirectionally between Google Drive and Dropbox so your team can use whichever storage they prefer.

Prerequisites

• Google Cloud OAuth2 credentials (or service account JSON)
• Dropbox app with access token (create one)
• WCP running

1. Register Connections

# Google Drive
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/connections \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "gdrive",
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "@anthropic/mcp-server-gdrive"],
    "env": { "GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS": "/data/gcloud-sa.json" }
  }'

# Dropbox
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/connections \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "dropbox",
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "@anthropic/mcp-server-dropbox"],
    "env": { "DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN": "sl...." }
  }'

Tip

Mount your Google service account JSON into the Docker container:

docker run -v /path/to/sa.json:/data/gcloud-sa.json ...

2. Scan, Verify, Sync

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/capabilities/scan
curl http://localhost:8000/api/capabilities/syncable-pairs
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/sync/run/await

3. Strategy Recommendation

For file storage, last_write_wins is usually the safest strategy — the most recently modified version wins:

curl -X PUT http://localhost:8000/api/conflicts/strategy \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"strategy": "last_write_wins"}'

Monitoring

Check sync links to see which files are connected:

curl http://localhost:8000/api/links

Each link shows the wcp_id, the app-specific IDs, the last sync time, and the content hash.
