The tokens created using these credentials are unique for each user accessing the API and should also be kept in a secure place, like the OAuth service tokens store, another service provided by the platform. These credentials should be stored in a secure environment (for example your project vault, more on that later). The first step to be able to access the Dropbox API using OAuth 2.0 is to register your application to Dropbox, that will allow you to get some id, passwords (secrets) and other information (called credentials in this document) needed to create tokens that will be used to eventually access the API.

This needs to be done manually by the user at least once. You can find more information on how this process works in the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation.Īlso note that it is not possible to fully automate the OAuth process where the user chooses to authorize the app and the app then receives the resulting access token and optional refresh token.


Is correct, to receive the authorization code programmatically, you should use a redirect URI.
