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
Create an app
Click Create app. Choose Scoped access, then either App folder (sandbox to one folder) or Full Dropbox (broad access).
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.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.
