## Best Practices

### Organize with Folders

Create a dedicated folder structure for your chatbot content:

```
📁 SiteGPT Content/
  ├── 📄 Product FAQ.pdf
  ├── 📄 Getting Started Guide.docx
  ├── 📁 Knowledge Base/
  │   ├── 📄 Account Setup.docx
  │   └── 📄 Billing Questions.docx
  └── 📁 Support Articles/
      ├── 📄 Troubleshooting.pdf
      └── 📄 Common Issues.docx
```

### Keep Content Fresh

* **Re-import regularly**: Sync your Dropbox content periodically to capture updates
* **Use descriptive names**: Clear file names help organize your training data
* **Remove outdated files**: Delete old content from your source folder before re-importing

### What to Include

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Good Content for Training">
    * FAQs and knowledge base articles
    * Product documentation and guides
    * Support playbooks and troubleshooting guides
    * Policy documents and terms
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Content to Avoid">
    * Internal-only documents with sensitive information
    * Outdated or deprecated content
    * Large files with minimal text (image-heavy presentations)
    * Duplicate content (same info in multiple files)
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Files not appearing">
    * Ensure you've granted SiteGPT full read access to your Dropbox
    * Check that files are in supported formats
    * Verify the files aren't in a restricted team folder
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Import fails or times out">
    * Try importing smaller batches of files
    * Check that individual files aren't corrupted
    * Ensure you have a stable internet connection
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Content not updating">
    * Re-import the folder to pull latest changes
    * Remove and re-add the data source if changes aren't reflected
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Dropbox Business

For Dropbox Business accounts:

* **Team folders**: Import content from shared team folders
* **Admin access**: Team admins can connect team-wide folders
* **Permissions**: Only folders you have access to will appear

<Info>
  When connecting a Dropbox Business account, you'll see both your personal folders and team folders you have access to.
