Configure

Dropbox Authentication🔗

The Dropbox plugin signs FileRun users in with their Dropbox accounts.

Enable and configure the plugin from the control panel, under Users → Authentication. Select Dropbox from the Enabled plugin list.

Step 1: Create the Dropbox application🔗

Open the Dropbox App Console and create a new app.

In the app's settings, add the redirect URI. FileRun shows the exact value in the Redirect URL field of the plugin's settings; copy it from there with the button next to the field.

Step 2: Configure the FileRun plugin🔗

From the app's settings page, copy into FileRun:

• Dropbox App key
• Dropbox App secret

Step 3: Testing🔗

Use the Save and test authentication button before enabling the plugin, and open the test link in a private browser window.

Important

Keep Allow local user accounts to log in enabled until you are sure the setup works. If you are locked out, follow Disabling the authentication integration.

Note

This plugin authenticates users. It does not give FileRun access to the files stored in Dropbox.
