Dropbox Integration Overview:

Restrictions !!!:
• No Resume Support for Uploads: The Dropbox REST API does not natively support resumable uploads for partially transferred files in a way that is compatible with CrushFTP’s integration capabilities.
• No Support for MDTM (File Modification Time) Changes: The API does not allow direct modification of a file’s metadata, including the file modification time (mdtm). When files are created or updated, the modification time is automatically managed by Dropbox.

Generate an api key using : https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps?_tk=pilot_lp&_ad=topbar4&_camp=myapps
- the redirect url must be added like : https://www.example/?command=register_dropbox_api, it also need to end with "?command=register_dropbox_api".


Grant permissions for your api key:




Dropbox Business Account:

Grant the necessary permissions for team folders.
!!! Important:

• Only users with the Team Admin role can configure these settings.
  
• The members.read permission is required for Dropbox Business accounts.
  

Now that the API is enabled, and your credentials are setup, and your redirect domain is configured, you can use the credentials in CrushFTP to get your Dropbox auth token and get access.
In the User Manager, add a new remote VFS item type and set the protocol to be "Dropbox".
Take your Dropbox App key and App secret and combine them together with a tilde as separator:

ap_key: ew7XXXXXXXXXXo6o
ap_secret: by78XXXXXXXvW4h

results in:

ew7XXXXXXXXXXo6o~by78XXXXXXXvW4h

That entire string will serve as your Username for Dropbox://.
Paste it into the Username field, then click Get Access Token to complete the configuration.


Grant access to CrushFTP in the newly displayed form.


For Dropbox Business Accounts (!!!):
Dropbox Business User Email: Enter the team member’s email address associated with the Dropbox Business account. Team folders will be accessed on behalf of this user.

The password should be filled in, and you can proceed to test the connection:
