  1. In the Redirect URIs field, type your domain's name with this extension ( 3p/cb/dropbox/ ) and click Add.

  2. Set the Access token expiration to No expiration.

  3. In the Chooser field, type your domain's name ( e.g., https://app.yoursitesdomainhere.com ) and click Add.

  4. In the Webhooks field, type your domain's name with this extension ( 3p/cb/dropbox/ ) and click Add.
