# Dropbox connector path settings

In order to read data from or write data to files and folders, the user needs to give the relevant path within the Exchange Reader/Writer.

{% hint style="info" %}

* In case of complete dropbox access: 
  * To provide the location of an existing file, enter the relevant file path. For example, to give the path of a file at the root, type the following: /(filename.extension)” e.g. “/testdropbox.csv” 
  * In case a file is not present, to write data into a file in a specific location, a file will be created with the name given after the “/”: “/(filename.extension)” e.g. “/test.csv”
* In case of access only to a specific folder in the dropbox e.g. a folder within the accessible folder, giving the same path will result in the file being created inside the location: "/Apps//folder1"
