# Dropbox

export const title_0 = "Dropbox";

## Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect Dropbox to your Connect AI account:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Open the **Sources** page of the Connect AI navigation menu.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **+ Add Connection** in the upper-right corner.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Type *Dropbox* into the search field, then click the data source name.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    On the **Basic Settings** tab of the new connection, enter a connection name or keep the default name.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Select the **Impersonate User Mode** the provider uses when making API calls on behalf of a user or administrator: **User**, **Admin**, or **None**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Enter the **Impersonate User Id** which specifies the Dropbox User Id to impersonate when acting on behalf of a team member or administrator. This field is required if you select **User** or **Admin** for **Impersonate User Mode**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    At the top of the Connect AI **Add {title_0} Connection** page, click **Save & Test**.

    * If the connection test succeeds, a **Connection successfully saved** message appears, indicating that your connection has been created. The **Status** on the **Edit Connection** page also changes to **Authenticated**. View the data model of your successful connection in the right pane of the **Edit Connection** page, in the **Data Model** tab.
    * If the connection test fails, ensure that you entered your login information correctly with no stray spaces or other characters. Connect AI displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website. If you did not, an error message appears under the **Sign in** button. Correct the errors and try again.
    * Unsuccessful connections are saved as drafts and have a **Status** of **Not Authenticated**. You can return to the connection and authenticate it later.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  The directions above assume you are using CData's embedded OAuth app. If you want to create a custom OAuth app, see [Creating a Custom OAuth App](https://cdn.cdata.com/help/OFM/cloud/default.htm#pg_oauthcustomappcreate). After you have created a custom OAuth app, go to the **Advanced Settings** tab and enter the **OAuth Client Id** and **OAuth Client Secret** you obtained from the custom OAuth app.
