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 **App Console**:

|
|
|
|
If you have not already created any Dropbox apps it will ask you to accept
|
|
their terms and conditions. Then you are presented with the choice to create
|
|
either a Drop-ins App or a Dropbox API App. Click **Dropbox API App**, and then
|
|
check:
|
|
|
|
* Files and datastores.
|
|
* No -- My app needs access to files already on Dropbox.
|
|
* All file types -- My app needs access to a user's full Dropbox. Only
|
|
supported via the CoreAPI.
|
|
|
|
Then enter whatever name you want for your app.

|
|
|
|
Now click the **Create App** button. Under **Status**, do not click
|
|
**Development (Apply for production status)** because that is for apps that you
|
|
want to release publicly.
|
|
|
|
Click **Enable additional users** to allow multiple ownCloud users to use your
|
|
new Dropbox share.
|
|
|
|
Note your App key and App secret, which you will enter in the External Storage
|
|
form on 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.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
You must be logged into Dropbox, and when ownCloud successfully verifies your
|
|
connection Dropbox will ask for verification to connect to your Dropbox
|
|
account. Click **Allow**, and you're done.
