  • Dropbox: A cloud storage service where you can store files and access them from any device.
  • Features:
    • Browse your Dropbox folders and subfolders.
    • Search for audio and video files by name.
    • Stream music files (MP3, FLAC, OGG, WAV, AAC, and more) directly in AN Player.
    • Stream video files (MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV, WebM, and more) directly in AN Player.
    • Optionally limit browsing to a specific folder using the root path setting.

Install ​

  1. Open AN Player and go to the Plugins Screen.
  2. Find Dropbox in the official plugins list.
  3. Install the plugin and open its configuration page.

Configure Plugin ​

Dropbox requires an access token to read your files. Use the button below to sign in with your Dropbox account and get a token automatically.

Configure in AN Player ​

  1. Copy the access token from above.
  2. Open AN Player and go to the Dropbox plugin configuration.
  3. Paste the token into the Access Token field.
  4. Optionally, enter a Root Path if you want to limit browsing to a specific folder (e.g. /Music or /Videos). Leave it empty to browse your entire Dropbox.
  5. Tap Save.

If Nothing Loads ​

If your files don't appear after saving, check the following:

  • The access token may have expired — Dropbox short-lived tokens expire after a few hours. Go back to the App Console and generate a new one.
  • The permissions were not saved — go to the Permissions tab and make sure files.metadata.read and files.content.read are both enabled, then submit.
  • The root path is wrong — make sure the folder path starts with / and matches an existing folder in your Dropbox (e.g. /Music, not Music).
