- A file sharing application that allows users to share and sync files across devices
- A content management system that allows users to manage and share files and folders
- A note taking application that allows users to sync notes across devices
- A task management application that allows users to manage and share tasks and files
- A document management application that allows users to manage and share documents and files

Authentication#
Dropbox uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Dropbox account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Dropbox and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Dropbox API.
Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
- authorization
GEThttps://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id={{oauth.client_id}}&redirect_uri={{oauth.redirect_uri}}&state={{oauth.state}}&response_type=code&scope={{oauth.space_separated_scopes}}&token_access_type=offline - accessToken
