Ollang MCP + Dropbox

The Dropbox MCP Server is a third-party project and is not developed, maintained, or affiliated with Ollang or Dropbox. Please exercise caution when connecting to any third-party MCP server and review its source code and permissions before use.
Use the Dropbox MCP Server with Ollang MCP to pull documents from Dropbox, translate them, and save results back — all through your AI assistant.

Why Dropbox + Ollang?

Dropbox is a widely used file storage platform for teams. By connecting both MCP servers, your AI assistant can:
  • Pull source documents (PDFs, DOCX, subtitles) from Dropbox
  • Upload files directly to Ollang for translation
  • Save translated files back to organized Dropbox folders
  • Manage localization file structures

Setup

Dropbox offers an official remote MCP server — no local installation required.

Example Workflows

Translate documents from Dropbox

Find all PDF files in my Dropbox folder "/Marketing/English". Upload each
one to Ollang and create document translation orders for French, Spanish,
and German. Save the order IDs to a text file in "/Marketing/Translations".

Subtitle file workflow

Download the file "product-demo.srt" from my Dropbox, read it using Ollang's
subtitle parser, then upload it to Ollang and create subtitle translation
orders for Japanese and Korean.

Organized localization pipeline

For each file in Dropbox "/Content/Source":
1. Upload to Ollang for document translation into French, German, and Spanish
2. When translations complete, download them
3. Save to Dropbox folders: /Content/FR, /Content/DE, /Content/ES
