# Set up Dropbox storage backend
|
|
|
|
## Acquiring authentication tokens
|
|
|
|
1. Create a new Dropbox App in the [App Console](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps)
|
|
2. Open your new Dropbox App and set `DROPBOX_APP_KEY` and `DROPBOX_APP_SECRET` in your environment (e.g. docker-compose.yml) accordingly
|
|
3. Click on `Permissions` in your app and make sure, that the following permissions are cranted (or more):
|
|
- `files.metadata.write`
|
|
- `files.metadata.read`
|
|
- `files.content.write`
|
|
- `files.content.read`
|
|
4. Replace APPKEY in `https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=APPKEY&token_access_type=offline&response_type=code` with the app key from step 2
|
|
5. Visit the URL and confirm the access of your app. This gives you an `auth code` -> save it somewhere!
|
|
6. Replace AUTHCODE, APPKEY, APPSECRET accordingly and perform the request:
|
|
```
|
|
curl https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token \
|
|
-d code=AUTHCODE \
|
|
-d grant_type=authorization_code \
|
|
-d client_id=APPKEY \
|
|
-d client_secret=APPSECRET
|
|
```
|
|
7. Execute the request. You will get a JSON formatted reply. Use the value of the `refresh_token` for the last environment variable `DROPBOX_REFRESH_TOKEN`
|
|
8. You should now have `DROPBOX_APP_KEY`, `DROPBOX_APP_SECRET` and `DROPBOX_REFRESH_TOKEN` set. These don't expire.
|
|
|
|
Note: Using the "Generated access token" in the app console is not supported, as it is only very short lived and therefore not suitable for an automatic backup solution. The refresh token handles this automatically - the setup procedure above is only needed once.
|
|
|
|
## Other parameters
|
|
|
|
Important: If you chose `App folder` access during the creation of your Dropbox app in step 1 above, you can only write in the app's directory!
|
|
This means, that `DROPBOX_REMOTE_PATH` must start with e.g. `/Apps/YOUR_APP_NAME` or `/Apps/YOUR_APP_NAME/some_sub_dir`
