How to configure Dropbox connection to scan it.

Initial creation of Dropbox connector in Dashboard

• Navigate to Administration -> Data Sources -> Dropbox

  
• Then go to Credentials tab and click New credentials

• Create credentials name and copy the Redirect URL - it will be needed later. App Key and App Secret fields will be filled later once we Register a Dropbox App.

  

Registering a Dropbox App

• Login to Dropbox
• Go to Dropbox App Console and click Create app

• On the App Creation page enter below information and click Create app button

  • Choose an API: Most applications will use "Dropbox API"

    
  • Choose Access Type: Select "Full Dropbox" for complete access.

    
  • Name Your App and click Create app: Enter a name that will be visible to users.

    
• Go to the Settings tab and find app key and secret above the OAuth 2 section

  

  
• We need to set proper permissions for Dropbox app. Below you can find a list of required permissions:

  • For scanning

    • Files and Folders > files.metadata.read, files.content.read

    • Collaboration > sharing.read

    • Team Data > team_data.member

    • Members > members.read, groups.read

  • For remediations

    • Collaboration > sharing.write

    • Files and Folders > files.content.write

  • For tagging

    • Files and Folders > files.content.write, files.metadata.write

• Go to the Permissions tab of the newly created App and set the following:

  • Account Info: account_info.read

    
  • Files and Folders: files.metadata.write, files.metadata.read, files.content.write, files.content.read

    
  • Collaboration: sharing.read, sharing.write

    
  • Team: team_info.read

    
  • Team Data: team_data.member, team_data.content.write, team_data.content.read, files.team_metadata.write, files.team_metadata.read, files.permanent_delete

    

    
  • Members: members.read, groups.read

    
• Once permissions are set click Save button located on the black snackbar at the bottom of the window.

• Go back to Settings tab and scroll to Redirect URI section. Put here copied link from Dashboard and click Add

  
• Then copy App key from Dropbox App settings page and put it into App key field in Dashboard Create connection form. Similar action should be made for App secret.
