Introduction
In this article, we explain how you can create your own custom Dropbox App for use with the Dropbox Add-on.
This is optional and not required to use our Dropbox add-on, unless you need to have access to the Dropbox Upload Field or being able to upload files outside of the default app folder created for the Dropbox Add-On within your Dropbox user account, we recommend using the default connect to Dropbox button.
Note: Due to recent changes to the Dropbox API, currently the add-on doesn』t support team level access.
