To authenticate a Dropbox Business connector instance you must use a developer account to create an application for Dropbox. After you register an app, record the App key, App secret, and Redirect URIs. You use these when you authenticate a connector instance as the API Key, API Secret, and Callback URL. If you plan to use events, also configure the Webhook URIs.
