> 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

<Card title="Dropbox App Console" href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps" icon="box" arrow>
  [https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps)
</Card>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an app">
    Click **Create app**. Choose **Scoped access**, then either **App folder** (sandbox to one folder) or **Full Dropbox** (broad access).
  </Step>

  <Step title="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**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate an access token">
    On the **Settings** tab, scroll to **OAuth 2 → Generated access token**. Click **Generate**. Copy the token.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  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.
</Note>

## Connect in Nora

Paste the access token into the **Access Token** field and click **Connect**. Nora calls `POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/users/get_current_account` to verify the token. The card shows your Dropbox display name on success.
