# Create a Dropbox Application

To index content from Dropbox, you must create a Dropbox application to represent the connector.

NOTE:

This procedure is subject to change. For information about creating a Dropbox application, refer to the Dropbox developer documentation.

To create a Dropbox application to represent the connector

1. Create a Dropbox user account.

2. Create the application to represent the connector.

   - To ingest content from a standard Dropbox account, go to https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps, click Create App, and then click Dropbox API app.
   - To ingest content for users in a Dropbox for Business team, go to https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/apps/create/business and create an app with "Team member file access" permissions.
   NOTE:

   When you create the application, ensure that the Redirect URL matches the location where you will run the OAuth configuration tool, for example `http://localhost:7878/`, as specified by the `RedirectURL` parameter in the OAuth tool configuration file `oauth_tool.cfg`.

After you create the application, Dropbox will provide an application key and application secret.
