Integrating OHIF with dropbox

Support Development
1

Hi everyone,

We are using OHIF Viewer in our workflow and are exploring ways to integrate it with Dropbox to fetch images. Specifically, we are looking for a way to:

Authenticate and Access Dropbox – Securely connect OHIF to a Dropbox folder containing DICOM images.
Fetch and Load DICOM Images – Automatically retrieve images from Dropbox and display them in OHIF.
Ensure Compliance & Performance – Maintain HIPAA compliance, encryption, and smooth loading performance.
If anyone has successfully implemented this or has insights on the best approach (e.g., using Dropbox API, setting up a proxy PACS server, or direct cloud-based retrieval), we’d love to hear about your experience!

Looking forward to any guidance, resources, or example implementations. Thanks in advance!

OHIF viewer is a “dumb client” application that cannot retrieve DICOM file by itself. :robot:
I don’t know what Dropbox it is. Something like network file system? :clown_face:
Anyway, please make sure the resource can support to retrieve by server.
In my solution, we use cloud-based server to retrieval the DICOM resource which storage in OSS.
DICOMweb | OHIF
About security we using OpenID-Connect.
Authorization and Authentication | OHIF
Hope this answer helps you :smiling_face:
