This guide will walk you through of the process of setuping a remote backup in Dropbox.
First of all you will need active Dropbox account. If you don't have Dropbox registration go make one (https://www.dropbox.com/register) and return here.
1. Create Dropbox app
Visit Dropbox App Console and create new app
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps
Picture with default app setup and example name.
2. Get app key and app secret
Navigate to the app's settings and copy the app key and app secret.
3. Give permissions for the app
Navigate to the app's permissions page and and check all boxes in the Files and folders section
4. Get app access code
After getting the App Key from step 2, you will have to get an app access code
To generate this code you will have to visit the link listed bellow
Replace `<YOUR_APP_KEY>` with your App Key from step 2.
https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=<YOUR_APP_KEY>&response_type=code&token_access_type=offline
When visiting this link there will be a warning and confirmation messages - click Continue then Allow, and the code will be generated
!!! IMPORTANT NOTE:
The Access Code is different from Access Token, that is generated from the app settings page
The Access Code is one time use and will expire after time - after generating the code enter it in the 1-Stream panel as soon as possible
5. Save Dropbox authentication data in the panel settings
After getting the Dropbox App Key, App Secret and Access Code, go to the backup settings of your 1-Stream panel and enter them in the web form.
