How to Add Brand Asset Categories in Dropbox

To add Brand Asset Categories in Dropbox, follow these steps:

Create a Folder for the Brand Asset Category:

• Create a new folder in the root of the Dropbox.

• Tag the folder with the following tags:

  • Required:
    CIH_BCT_<CATEGORY TYPE> — Tags the folder as a brand category of the specified type.
    Available category types are:

    • images

    • logos

    • colors

    • text

    • icons

  • Optional:
    CIH_BCN_<CATEGORY NAME> — If present, this tag defines the category name; otherwise, the folder name is used as the category name.

• Place all the assets you want to use for this category inside the folder.
  The folder name (or the value from the CIH_BCN_ tag) will become the asset category, and the assets within it will belong to that category.

Create a Folder for Brand Colors Categories:

• Create a new folder.

• Tag the folder with the following tags:

  • Required:
    CIH_BCT_colors — Tags the folder as a brand category of type “colors”.

  • Optional:
    CIH_BCN_<CATEGORY NAME> — If present, it’s used as the color category name; otherwise, the folder name is used.

• Inside this folder, add files with the extension .cihubcolor.
  These files should contain objects following this structure:

{
    "id": "897428381201",
    "name": "Sky Blue",
    "colorDescription": "lorem ipsum",
    "hexValue": "#87CEEB",
    "rgbValue": {
      "red": 135,
      "green": 206,
      "blue": 235
    },
    "pantone": "279 C",
    "cmyk": {
      "cyan": 44,
      "magenta": 12,
      "yellow": 0,

    }
}
