While Dropbox supports the newer OAuth 2.0, ownCloud uses OAuth 1.0, so you can
|
|
safely ignore any references to OAuth 2.0 in the Dropbox configuration.
|
|
|
|
Connecting Dropbox is a little more work because you have to create a Dropbox
|
|
app. Log into the `Dropbox Developers page <http://www.dropbox.com/developers>`_
|
|
and click **Create Your App**:
|
|
|
|

|
|
:alt: Create your app.
|
|
|
|
Next, for **Choose an API** check **Dropbox API**.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: images/dropbox-1.png
|
|
:alt: Select Dropbox API.
|
|
|
|
The next option is choosing which folders to share, or to share everything in
|
|
your Dropbox.
|
|
|
|

:alt: Folder selection.
|
|
|
|
Then enter your app name. This is anything you want it to be.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: images/dropbox-3.png
|
|
:alt: Name your app.
|
|
|
|
Then click the **Create App** button.
|
|
|
|
Now you are on your app page, which displays its settings and more options. Do
|
|
not click **Development (Apply for production)** because that is for apps
|
|
that you want to release publicly.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Click **Enable additional users** to allow multiple ownCloud users to access
|
|
your new Dropbox share.
|
|
|
|
Now go to your ownCloud Admin page. Your ownCloud configuration requires only
|
|
the local mount name, the **App Key** and the **App Secret**, and which users
|
|
or groups have access to the share. Remember the little gear icon at the
|
|
far right for additional options.
|
|
|
|
After entering your local mount name, **App Key** and **App Secret**, click
|
|
**Grant access**.
|
|
|
|

|
:alt: ownCloud Dropbox configuration.
|
|
|
|
If you are not already logged into Dropbox, you will be prompted to login
|
|
and authorize access. This happens only once, when you are first creating
|
|
the new share. Click **Allow**, and you're done.
