Dropbox
How to issue a Dropbox access token and connect it to Nora.Dropbox integrations let your agents upload, download, and manage files in a Dropbox account. Nora authenticates with a Bearer access token issued from the Dropbox developer console.
Where to apply for credentials
Dropbox App Console
1
Create an app
Click Create app. Choose Scoped access, then either App folder (sandbox to one folder) or Full Dropbox (broad access).
2
Tick the permissions
On the Permissions tab, tick the scopes your agent needs (e.g.
files.content.read,
files.content.write, files.metadata.read). Click Submit.3
Generate an access token
On the Settings tab, scroll to OAuth 2 → Generated access token. Click Generate. Copy the token.
The generated access token is short-lived (4 hours). For production agents, implement a refresh
flow: get the App key + secret from the same Settings page, do an OAuth2 authorization-code
exchange, and store the resulting refresh_token. Nora’s current Dropbox integration shape uses the
long-lived token model — fine for personal/dev use, but you’ll need to rotate the token manually
for now.
Connect in Nora
Paste the access token into the Access Token field and click Connect. Nora callsPOST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/users/get_current_account to verify the token. The card shows your Dropbox display name on success.
