Dropbox Setup

Configure your Dropbox account to work with MV Tools for seamless file management, transfer, sync, and backup capabilities.

Setup Instructions

1 Register Dropbox Account

Go to https://www.dropbox.com/ and sign up for a Dropbox account if you don't already have one.

2 Register Developer Account

Visit https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps and sign in with your Dropbox account credentials to access the developer console.

3 Create Application

In the developer console, click on "Create app" or similar option to create a new Dropbox application.

4 Configure Callback URL

In the application settings, set the callback URL to http://localhost:8080/api/drive/callback. This is where Dropbox will redirect after authentication.

5 Set Permissions

In the application permissions section, enable the following permissions:

account_info.read
files.metadata.write
files.content.write
files.content.read

6 Obtain App Key and Secret

After configuring your application, you'll be provided with an App key and App secret. Copy these values and enter them into the MV Tools software when prompted for Dropbox drive configuration.

Alternative: Use System App

If you find the above steps too complicated, you can use the "Use System App" feature within MV Tools. This option uses a pre-configured system application, which is easier to set up but may have more usage limitations since it's shared among multiple users.
