Managing content on one or across multiple digital signs just got simpler. With Castit's new Dropbox integration for digital signage, you can import files directly from your cloud storage to your media library. No more USB drives, no more manual uploads - just connect to Dropbox, select your files, and they're ready to use on your screens.

Why Connect Dropbox to Your Digital Signs?

Running digital signage usually means constant file juggling. You create content, save it somewhere, and then somehow get it to each screen. It's tedious and error-prone.

With Dropbox integration, you skip all that. Browse your Dropbox files directly from the Castit app, select what you need, and import them to your media library. Your marketing team can organize promotions in Dropbox folders, then easily pull them into Castit when it's time to display them. No more hunting through local drives or email attachments.

This works especially well for teams that already store their content in Dropbox. Instead of downloading files to your computer first, you can grab them directly from the cloud and add them to your digital signage library.

 

Setting Up Dropbox with Castit

Getting started takes minutes.

Step 1: Get the App 

Head to the Castit marketplace and either create a free account or log into your existing one. Find "Dropbox" in the App Section, download it, and you're ready to go. Also, you can find Dropbox on the Castit marketplace, too.

Step 2: Connect Your Account 

Go to your Castit app settings for Dropbox and click "Sign in with Dropbox." You'll see a pop-up asking for permission to view your files and folders - click "Continue" then "Allow." Close the popup, refresh the page, and you're connected.

That's it. No complicated setup or technical configuration is needed.

How It Actually Works

Once connected, Castit lets you browse your Dropbox files and import them to your local media library. This gives you the best of both worlds - easy access to your cloud files with fast local loading on your displays.

You get three main options:

1. Name Your Connection - Useful if you're managing multiple Dropbox accounts or want to organize different content sources.

2. Choose Your Files - Browse and select specific files or entire folders from Dropbox. Everything gets copied to your Castit library in a folder you can rename however you want. Once imported, these files stay in your library even if you later delete them from Dropbox.

3. Stay in Control - Disconnect anytime without losing files already in your library. You can reconnect later and grab more content whenever needed.

The system handles all the common file types you'd expect: JPG, PNG, MP4, MOV, and more. Basically, if you can put it on a screen, it'll work.

 

Real-World Uses

Retail stores love this for price updates and promotions. They use this to easily import promotional materials and product images from their Dropbox archives into their digital signage library.

Restaurants use it for menu boards. They can pull menu photos and promotional content from their cloud storage directly into Castit for use on menu boards and display screens.

Offices keep everyone informed with company announcements, employee spotlights, or important updates that need to reach everyone quickly.

Hotels and venues can quickly add event photos, amenity information, or marketing materials from Dropbox to their lobby displays and guest information screens.

 

Security and Privacy

Your files stay private. Each user only sees their own content, and you control exactly what Castit can access. The connection uses standard OAuth security, so your Dropbox login stays protected.

Want to revoke access? Just disconnect in settings. Your files remain in Castit's library, and you keep using them for your displays even after disconnecting from Dropbox.

Getting the Most Out of It

Keep your Dropbox organized with clear folder names. If you're managing content for multiple locations or departments, create separate folders for each.

Name your files descriptively. "Summer_Sale_2025" is better than "IMG_1234" when you're looking for something specific later.

Test your content before importing. Check how files look in Dropbox, then import the ones that work best for your displays.

Common Questions

Will this slow down my displays?
No. Files download locally, so playback is smooth even if your internet connection hiccups.

What happens if I delete something from Dropbox?
It stays in your Castit library and continues working on your displays. Once imported, files are independent of your Dropbox account.

Can multiple people manage the same content?
Yes, anyone with access to your Dropbox folder can see and import the same files to their Castit library.
