Dropbox

You can use ExpanDrive to connect to Dropbox using either a Personal account, or a Dropbox Business account.

ExpanDrive uses a standard OAuth flow to authenticate, so ExpanDrive has no access to your account credentials, only the authentication token returned by Dropbox.

Connection Parameters

Nickname

The nickname identifies this connection on your machine. This name is used as the volume label on the mounted drive.

Account

The account you used for authenticating is displayed. You cannot change this value.

Connecting Multiple Dropbox Accounts

If you're connecting to more than one Dropbox account, you may need to sign out of dropbox in your default web browser to trigger re-authentication before you add the new connection to ExpanDrive. This will not disconnect your existing ExpanDrive connections to Dropbox.
