Version 23.3.8700


Dropbox Authentication


The Dropbox connection type uses the OAuth authentication scheme.

  1. For the OAuth scheme, specify these settings:

    • OAuth Request Token URL - Enter the URL where the CData Sync application requests the request token. (This field is for OAuth 1.0 only, and it is required.)

    • OAuth Version - Select your OAuth version. The default version is 2.0.

    • OAuth Client Id - Enter the client Id that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.

    • OAuth Client Secret - Enter the client secret that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.

    • Scope - Enter the scope that you want to use to obtain the initial access and refresh token.

    • OAuth Authorization URL - Enter the URL where the user logs into the service and grants permissions to the application. In OAuth 1.0, if permissions are granted, the request token is authorized.

    • OAuth Access Token URL - Enter the URL where the request for the access token is made. In OAuth 1.0, the authorized request token is exchanged for the access token.

    • OAuth Refresh Token URL - Enter the URL from which to refresh the OAuth token.

  2. Click Connect to CSV to connect to your CSV account.

  3. Complete the remaining steps for establishing your connection.
