Node specific properties

 

appKey, appSecret, refreshToken: Once you have the credentials in their node properties you need to authenticate a first time. The Authenticate action is available in the contextual menu of the node (right click on the node -> authenticate).

 

You can follow this procedure to get the token: More information about how to get a Dropbox token.

 

Once a valid Dropbox access token is in the refreshToken property the account email will appear in the corresponding field and the Team, Project and Directory drop-down fields will contain the different options as you have in your account.

 

Note: The tokens are long strings that look like this example:
