  2. Choose "App console" on the upper right
  3. Click the blue button "Create app"

  5. Decide, if you want your app to work within its own folder or, if you want to have full access to all of your files
  6. Give it a name
  7. Save app with "Create App"
  8. Open your newly created app
  9. On tab "settings" you will find app key and app secret
  10. Open new tab and start configuring TYPO3

  1. Create a new file storage record on pid 0 and give it a name like "Dropbox"
  2. On Tab "Configuration" choose "Dropbox" (FlexForm reloads)
  3. Click the + icon right of the access token field to start the wizard
  4. Enter app key and app secret from your new Dropbox app
  5. Click the link to retrieve a Dropbox auth code
    1. It will open a new browser tab, where you have to allow TYPO3 to access your app
    2. After confirmation, you will see the auth code
    3. Copy auth code over to dropbox configuration wizard
  6. Click next button in wizard
  7. In background my extension calls dropbox API to get access token
  8. On success the access token will automatically in configuration record
