Creating an OAuth App on Your Dropbox Server

In order to integrate with your Dropbox server, you must create a OAuth app on your Dropbox server using the same user credentials you will be using when creating a connection for TIBCO Flogo® Connector for Dropbox. From the perspective of Dropbox, this Dropbox app acts as the representative of a client app interacting with the Dropbox platform. In TIBCO Cloud™ Integration, the client app is an app that you create using the TIBCO Flogo® Connector for Dropbox which connects to Dropbox. Refer to the Dropbox developer documentation for instructions on how to create a Dropbox OAuth app.

Before you begin When creating the Dropbox OAuth app, be aware of the following:
  • Select "Dropbox API" or "Dropbox Business API" when creating apps.
  • For Authentication Method, select "Standard Oauth 2.0 (User Authentication)".
  • On the Configuration page, make sure the "OAuth 2.0 Redirect URI" is specified in this form: https://<TIBCO Cloud Integration Public URL>/wistudio/connectiondetails where <TIBCO Cloud Integration Public URL> is the TIBCO Cloud™ Integration URL that depends on the region your TIBCO Cloud™ Integration app runs. For example, if you app is running in United States, the URL would be: integration.cloud.tibco.com
  • Copy the values for "App Key" and "App Secret", to be used later when you create the Dropbox connection.
What to do next

After successfully creating your Dropbox app, be sure to copy the values of "App key" and "App secret", which is required when you create the Dropbox connection.
