📦 Dropbox

API Configuration (Optional)
  • By following these steps, your Dropbox Token will remain active and will not expire every 4 hours.
  1. Go to https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps/create
  • Create a new project.
  • Create Permissions
  1. Obtain the Authorization Code
  • Open a browser and navigate to the following URL, replacing <App key> with your App Key:
https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?token_access_type=offline&response_type=code&client_id=<App key>
  1. Obtain the Authorization Token

Run the following command in the terminal, making sure to replace <received code>, <App key>, and <App secret> with the correct values:

curl https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token \
-d code=<received code> \
-d grant_type=authorization_code \
-u <App key>:<App secret>

#Example
curl https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token \
-d code=G4sTbrY9DMoAAAAAAAAAQTeLtVHACmv1tVaWYLYCGvA \
-d grant_type=authorization_code \
-u 7on1ofs1236ki:b6bl6jg123lm8iz
  • When you run the command, you will receive a response like this:
 "access_token": "sl.B3hxfHXr123459z8_TS230pcLcLNbJ1234Hj-ccZmG5XCcQrN-Wb6ESMs0PSzwOtROxLb6XRaj6mUzHU1g8G60canTvjkWBBaNzVY1234hH2FEOhlwseaNcnQ9RyPn6vh",
  "token_type": "bearer",
  "expires_in": 14400,
  "refresh_token": "WtG6MI5YdccAAAAAAAAAAcAvu1234nB6skR3BmpgH3x5Reb-ae7FsLuNQ5-mZkk",
  "scope": "account_info.read",
  "uid": "143786425",
  "account_id": "dbid:BBAnJyzGYtm3-WP9a2HkL1TL8FVgPl5s-VM"
  • Now use this new refresh_token, access_token along with the previous <App key>, and <App secret> to fill in the secret variables needed in Bitwarden Secret Manager:
