Dropbox authentication

Depending on the authentication type you select, you need one of the following credentials:

• OAuth 2.0 Authorization code: the email and password associated with your Dropbox account.
• Bring your own OAuth 2.0 app: Client ID, Client secret.

To learn how to create your own OAuth 2.0 application, refer to the Dropbox documentation.

Users who have two-factor authentication configured for their profiles also have to provide a six-digit code before the connection is established.
